How to build a threat assessment threat management team, webinars in June

The State and Local Anti-Terrorism Training (SLATT) Program, funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), is hosting two webinars for law enforcement officers in June on how to build a threat assessment threat management team (TATM) as a means of preventing or mitigating the risk of targeted violence. Each webinar will cover the same information.

• Webinar 1 - Tuesday, June 11, 2024, at 1 p.m. EDT.
• Webinar 2 – Wednesday, June 26, 2024, at 1 p.m. EDT.

The webinars will be delivered by subject-matter experts leading TATM prevention efforts within their law enforcement organizations. The webinars build on the concept of TATMs as an evolving solution to targeted violence. Utilizing case studies, the presentation details how to build scalable TATMs, while also addressing the challenges and lessons learned from both a law enforcement and clinical perspective.

While the above training opportunities are targeted specifically to law enforcement, TATM is a multidisciplinary model. The Joint Counterterrorism Assessment Team (JCAT) is a fellowship program providing opportunities for first responders and public safety professionals from around the country to work side-by-side with federal intelligence analysts from the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC). JCAT has developed several First Responder’s Toolboxes on TATM for the broader public safety community:

• Threat Assessment and Threat Management (TATM).
• JCAT TATM Brochure.
• Threat Assessment and Threat Management (TATM) — A Model Critical to Terrorism Prevention (1 of 3).
• Threat Assessment and Threat Management (TATM) —Multidisciplinary Teams (2 of 3).
• Threat Assessment and Threat Management (TATM) — Assessment and Management (3 of 3).
