I didn’t understand why they chose to include that extra information about CIT, but maybe the authors were just being thorough.
I did read it as if it were written: 15-20% of Memphis Police patrol officers are also CIT officers
edit: I’d highlight that the authors did emphasize the intensive nature of de-escalation techniques for CIT training and that perhaps they were singling out Memphis as “state-of-the-art” police policy, at that time, with regard to law enforcement officers being tasked with mental health care.
