Day 1 - Title: Behavioral Threat Assessment Training for safer campuses and communities
August 27, 2018 we’ll cover such topics as best practices, core concepts, assessment, management, case examples, team formation, investigations and information gathering and threat assessment resources.

This workshop will be facilitated by:
