An individual often engages in behaviors that may be indicative of escalation prior to acting out violently. The following are examples of such behaviors and are meant to help you identify potential concerns. These examples are not intended to be all-inclusive nor should it be assumed that an individual who exhibits them will act out violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Report your concerns. Never assume that the team already has the information or someone else has already reported it. The most accurate assessment can only be completed when all of the known information is made available to the Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT). Information you have may be what is needed to give the team a complete picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The threat assessment process can be broken down into four phases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a reporting party, you can expect to be contacted to see if you have any additional information. Limited information obtained during the threat assessment may be shared to the extent it is necessary to develop a safety plan for the intended target(s) or victim(s).

An active assailant is an individual(s) actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined space or another highly populated area. In most cases, active assailants use firearms and display no pattern or method for the selection of their victims. An active assailant’s objective is that of mass murder.
Active assailant situations are dynamic and evolve rapidly, demanding an immediate response by the community and immediate deployment of law enforcement resources to stop the shooting and prevent further harm to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf an active assailant is outside your building<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
