The additions and changes will be built into a professional development class that will be made available to previously trained SROs and SSEs.
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.
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.
