Advanced Threat Assessment in Practice

This unique two-day class experience will provide a relaxed, casual atmosphere to further the cohort’s understanding and experience in threat assessment. Having trained hundreds of BIT/CARE and threat assessment teams, as well as thousands of individuals in the violence risk and threat assessment process, this course is designed to address the most significant challenge we have encountered in this work: developing practical skills in interviewing, logistics, analysis, and threat mitigation.

Live actors will be used to demonstrate interview techniques in two separate threat cases that intersect with student conduct, disability services, police, campus safety, Title IX, Title VI/VII, and human resources. Each day, we will discuss the case details and break into BIT/CARE teams. The team will then be given the opportunity to interview the subject, gather information, and review their social media. Once the initial information has been gathered, teams will collaborate to develop a threat analysis, assess the risk, and create a tailored threat mitigation plan based on the unique resources available in the participant's local area.
