SUMMARY:Level 2 Threat Assessment Training
DESCRIPTION:OverviewThe purpose of a threat assessment is to prevent targeted violence. The appraisal of risk in a school setting focuses on action\, communication\, and circumstances that may suggest an individual intends to mount an attack and is engaged in planning or preparing for that event.
