Recruitment E-mail



My name is James Nagy, and I am a doctoral student at Northcentral University. I am conducting a research study to better understand crisis intervention training.

I am recruiting individuals who meet all of these criteria:


  1. You must be or have been a certified police officer in the state of Florida.
  2. You must be a trained crisis intervention officer.
  3. You must have handled at least one call with a person in crisis.

If you decide to participate in this study, you will be asked to do the following activities:

  1. Participate in a 1:1 online interview over Zoom for 45-60 minutes.
  2. Review the interview transcript for accuracy via email for 10-15 minutes.


During these activities, you will be asked questions about:

  • Your experience with crisis intervention.
  • Your understanding of crisis intervention.
  • Your level of internal and external support.
  • Your ability to divert people from the criminal justice system with crisis intervention.


If you are interested in participating in this study, please contact me at jdn552@gmail.com.
Thank you!
