The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) School Safety Task Force will hold a virtual training from 2-3 p.m. CST. Thursday, Jan. 30, on assessing and responding to anonymous threats of violence in the K-12 environment.
The subject matter covered during this event will be particularly relevant to school and district administrators, K-12 school security staff, school resource officers and school-based law enforcement personnel, emergency management professionals, state and local law enforcement, parents and guardians, and other members of the school safety community.
The training will feature a facilitated discussion with school and district leaders on their experiences with managing anonymous threats – such as hoax calls, threats received on social media or via email, and notes found on school grounds – and maintaining the safety of their communities. The discussion will explore anonymous threat trends affecting K-12 schools, the criticality of early awareness and deterrence of future threats, key partners in addressing threats, and appropriate response actions that schools and local law enforcement partners can take when threats are received.
