Behavioral Threat Assessment Management
Over the last 20 years, school safety has been a prominent topic of discussion throughout the United States. Schools and communities are seeking support. There is a need for something that can be implemented in a technical manner but modified to fit a variety of unique educational environments. This support must be more than an intervention. The primary goal must be prevention.
Behavioral Threat Assessment is a preventive system that has been implemented in educational settings throughout the country.
At the core of this process is an approach to school threats and violence that focuses on a multi-disciplinary and multi-agency approach that identifies interventions and supervision strategies that fit the situation and accurately address risk. In addition, the process increases both the physical safety of a community and the psychological sense of safety.
Our consultants have been formally trained in behavioral threat assessment and bring over 20 years of experience in school safety and threat management.
