Abstract
The purpose of this study is to verify the reliability and validity of the mental health crisis scale (tools) developed for use by frontline police officers in psychiatric emergencies caused by insane people. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis, the fit of the research model estimated using the maximum likelihood method was CMIN(χ2)/df=2.040, GFI.878, RMSEA.081, CFI.963, TLI.950, which met the standard values. As a result of confirming the convergence validity, the factor load (λ) values were all .50 or more, and the significance level was p<.001. In the Average Variance Extracted(AVE), the AVE values of physical and social factors were analyzed to be less than 0.5, and suicidal behavior and mental state were derived to more than 0.5. The Construct Reliability (C.R.) was 0.700 to 0.876, all of which met 0.7 or more. Since the developed mental health crisis scale actively reflects the situation in the local community, police officers can be used it practically and usefully in the field of psychiatric crisis response
