Description:
The Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) Virginia Center for School and Campus Safety (VCSCS), in conjunction with Safer Schools Together (SST), is pleased to announce the following training opportunity to help behavioral threat assessment team members and other school and college campus safety personnel better recognize and respond to today’s challenges from worrisome digital content contained on varied social media platforms.
The training will be offered virtually, and each session will be updated based on current online behavioral trends. You are encouraged to register for all sessions.

• Updates and changes to all leading social media platforms
• Key information for SS/TA teams
• Case Scenarios: recent case files handled by SST Threat Analysts
• Trends, language, and new ways that students communicate online
• Risk-enhancing behaviors – what to look out for
