Threat assessment is a critical component of preventing school shootings and other targeted violence on campus.  The Arkansas Center for School Safety (the Center) has been awarded a Bureau of Justice Assistance grant to assist Arkansas school districts, both public and private, to develop effective behavioral threat assessment teams and processes.

Basic Behavioral Threat Assessment is an seven-hour course that will be delivered virtually and will explore the basic procedures and guidelines for threat assessment teams.

TOPICS WILL INCLUDE:

  • Strategies for diverting students on a violent trajectory
  • Components of threat assessment policies and procedures

This course includes interactive scenarios designed for actual behavioral threat assessment teams. It is recommended that all members or potential members of a school threat assessment team should attend the same course delivery.
