Train the Officer in conducting an initial threat investigation and risk assessment and to develop coordinated reasonable threat management strategies with the at-risk organization, in terms of: - Potential perpetrator - Target - Other "at-risk" individuals - Coordination of organization internal and community resources - OSHA, Secret Service, FBI / ASIS Guidelines. 3. Use scenario-based interactive exercises to train the officer to identify, assess and manage a variety of workplace and school threatening situations. 4. Define Key Elements of a Threat Assessment Protective Intelligence Program. 5.
