Advanced Digital Threat Assessment Trainings

Virtual Training

The Advanced School Behavioral Threat Assessment Training leads participants through multiple scenarios on different fact patterns, providing participants the opportunity to handle threat cases from start to finish, iron out their roles and responsibilities, and hone their procedures and decision-making, all with continuous trainer feedback. In addition to multiple scenarios this training also includes common problems and solutions in implementing school threat assessment programs. This training is designed for individuals who serve on the Safe and Supportive School Program Team and conduct behavioral threat assessments. Please note, this training is NOT mandated by the State of Texas for threat assessment team members, however, it is intended to enhance threat assessment knowledge and skills.

The Texas School Safety Center will be offering this one-day Advanced School Behavioral Threat Assessment Training at no cost.
