United States Secret Service officials taught 91视频 Emergency Response Team members about the latest trends and patterns of attackers during a free threat assessment seminar on workplace security this past fall. The National Threat Assessment Center, a division of the Secret Service, provided the training at the FedEx Center at Shelby Farms Park for school officials, mental health professionals, public safety personnel and anyone who may potentially be involved in a risk/threat detection and management position.  National Threat Assessment Center training focuses on prevention and response techniques and is a nationally evidence-based violence prevention program.

Police Services and Public Safety Director L. Angela Webb says the goal of the training was to help SERT members recognize threats to safety, identify attackers and implement best practices to prevent future violence. 淭his session was part of the SERT team檚 ongoing training aimed at empowering this invaluable group of volunteers to help us serve and protect the 91视频 community, Webb said. 淚 am truly proud of how well our SERT faculty, staff and police work together to keep our College safe and training like this is essential to keeping up to date on new types of criminal behavior.

Topics covered during the training included:

  • Identifying potential threats who may be exhibiting concerning or threatening behaviors
  • Investigating and gathering information on the background and behaviors of individuals of concern
  • Assessing whether individuals pose a threat of violence or other harmful behavior to their community
  • Developing risk management strategies and interventions
  • Reviewing case examples and an interactive case study
