The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) is pleased to announce “Threat Assessment and Management in a Campus Setting: Special Issues and Applications Workshop”. Professionals from Virginia Institutions of Higher Education have been actively engaged in threat assessment and management programs since 2008, when the Virginia Assembly enacted legislation requiring Virginia public institutions of higher education to implement and operate threat assessment teams. Since then, the Virginia Center for School and Campus Safety has offered dozens of basic and applied training sessions to support campus threat management teams. As campus threat assessment team members have completed those training opportunities and become more experienced, they have regularly requested additional training opportunities to enhance their knowledge and skills related to the practice of threat management in an educational setting.
This workshop will provide opportunity for participants to:
1. Learn and engage on a range of topics not covered in foundational training sessions. Topics include:
2. Practice application of skills and lessons learned through small-group work on case scenarios.
The training will be presented by Dr. Gene Deisinger.
This training is intended for Virginia campus threat assessment team members including campus and university law enforcement officers, municipal officers working with campuses, security personnel, and civilian team members. Please note, participants for this class must have completed the basic and applied campus threat assessment team training.
Law enforcement and campus security officers will receive partial in-service credit hours for this training.
There is no registration fee for this course.
Participants are responsible for their transportation, lodging, and meal expenses.
