What is Behavioral Threat Assessment?

Behavioral Threat Assessment (BTA) is a fact-based, systematic process designed to identify, inquire, assess, and manage potentially dangerous or violent situations. BTA is crafted, to design a plan to intervene effectively to gather a holistic picture of an individual that may be on a pathway to violence.


Purpose of Exercise

 The purpose of this exercise activity is to prepare Behavior Threat Assessment (BTA) team members to effectively perform their individual roles and responsibilities while collaborating as a member of the team to consider information that culminates in a decision during an assessment.​
