The Jackson Resident Office of the U.S. Secret Service, in collaboration with the U.S. Attorney’s Office – Southern District of MS, MS Attorney General’s Office, and The MS Department of Public Safety – Office of Homeland Security, Brandon and Biloxi Police Departments will host a presentation entitled ENHANCING SCHOOL SAFETY USING A THREAT ASSESSMENT MODEL: An Operational Guide for Preventing Targeted School Violence. The presentations will be delivered by the U.S. Secret Service National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC) who has conducted research on the thinking and behaviors of those who commit acts of targeted school violence in an effort to prevent future tragedies. Key findings from this research indicate that establishing multidisciplinary threat assessment teams and encouraging school communities to report concerning behaviors are critical steps in the prevention of targeted violence.
This presentation will highlight past incidents as well as relevant findings and recommendations from NTAC’s latest research on targeted school violence and interrupted school plots in the United States. It will also focus on how communities can use a multidisciplinary approach to identify, assess, and intervene with students exhibiting concerning or threatening behaviors as early as possible.
Please note, this is not Active Shooter training. Our target audience includes representatives from the law enforcement, school personnel, and other public safety professionals.
Event flyers have been attached for reference. Also, the following LINKS can be utilized to register for the event. Please RSVP by May 31, 2024.
