Threat assessment is a structured group process used to evaluate the risk posed by a student or another person, typically as a response to an actual or perceived threat or concerning behavior. Threat assessment as a process was developed by the Secret Service as a response to incidents of school violence.
The primary purpose of a threat assessment is to prevent targeted violence or criminal activity. The threat assessment process is centered upon analysis of the facts and evidence of behavior in a given situation. The appraisal of risk in a threat assessment focuses on actions, communications, and specific circumstances that might suggest that an individual intends to mount an attack and is engaged in planning or preparing for that event.
In a situation that becomes the focus of a threat assessment inquiry or investigation, we gather information, evaluate facts, and make a determination as to the level of the threat.
Our company can provide detailed and comprehensive threat assessment findings in the form of a written report. The report will include a table of contents, executive summary, findings, recommendations, and on site presentation.
If an inquiry indicates that there is a risk of violence in a specific situation, we collaborate with security staff or law enforcement to develop and implement a plan to manage or reduce the threat.
