This course identifies the needs of personnel that are assigned to a threat assessment team and to be able to study concerning behavior actions within an organization or individual. The threat assessment team is a group of officials convened to identify, assess, and address threats or potential threats to security. Team members learn how to evaluate and process situations against behavioral or unlawful actions. For this to occur, the establishment of a reporting system is imperative for past, present, and future determinations. Each of these positions are very important to manage a collaborative effort in identification, assessment, and counteraction of threat events. Students work to understand how important information sharing, as well as communication, is for a desired end result.
