Establishing Behavioral Threat Assessment Teams That Are a Bonus, Not a Burden
Description
Identifying and managing behaviors that indicate an elevated risk of violence (“Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management” or “BTAM”) is no longer an optional practice for many security teams in education, healthcare, and the private sector. Security managers tasked with standing up or training teams can often feel like it is an impossible task in terms of personnel and resources required. This session offers practical guidance for creating policies, procedures, and practices that integrate BTAM with the mission of both the security program and the organization, as well as practical guidance for how to lead BTAM teams that operate effectively and efficiently—without overwhelming the organization’s resources.
