Threat Assessment Team Mission Statement: The Threat Assessment Team (TAT) is dedicated to a proactive, coordinated and planned identification, prevention, assessment, management and reduction of interpersonal and behavioral threats to the safety and well being of Metropolitan Campus students, faculty, staff and visitors. Operating Principles: The key purpose of the TAT is to intervene in issues before they evolve into a crisis.  The TAT has adopted a “Systems Analysis” working model to addressing campus risks.  The Team seeks to identify and prioritize the most significant issues before conducting a causal evaluation and engaging in coordinated intervention strategies and campus education.  The TAT will not only address specific threats, but also general risks and identified vulnerabilities. History:  The TAT was formed in the Spring of 2002.  The Team has operated in two phases: Phase 1 (May 2002 – May 2007) and Phase 2 (June 2007 – Now).  During Phase 1 the TAT focused on specific issues that were determined to pose the most serious risks to the Metropolitan Campus.  The Team initiated many programs and many initiatives that addressed the prioritized issues.  The shootings at Virginia Tech. in April of 2007 and the subsequent Federal/State reports and recommendations provided an opportunity for the TAT to redefine its objectives and restructure its activities. TAT Phase 1: (May 2002 to May 2007)  The purpose of the TAT was to identify, prioritize and take action on those issues that posed the greatest risk to the campus community.  The goal was to prevent the tragedy and not simply be reactive to a any particular crisis.  The TAT utilized a multidisciplinary team approach which provided the necessary expertise and support to address the complexity, anxiety, confusion and volatility of campus threats.  By securing representation from various departments and functions, the TAT was able to achieve a high level of coordination and collaboration.  The TAT during this phase was comprised of representatives from the Office of the Provost, Public Safety, Dean of Students, Human Resources, Psychological Services, Athletics, Student Advisement, Risk Management, Student Counseling, Career Services, International Students, and faculty from The Schools of Criminal Justice, Nursing and Psychology.    A total of 54 individuals contributed to the TAT or one its Committees. Four Committees were created to meet regularly to research, assess, and make recommendations regarding the issues prioritized by the TAT.  The four established were the Alcohol Prevention, Relationship Violence, Threatening Behaviors and Mental Health Committees.  Each was chaired by a TAT member who reported on committee activities during the regularly scheduled TAT meetings. The Alcohol Prevention Committee recommended strategies that addressed factors relating to alcohol abuse and improving the campus culture and student socialization.  The Relationship Violence Committee promoted awareness and prevention of sexual assault, dating violence and stalking.  The Threatening Behaviors Committee developed programs dealing with threat education, cultural awareness / global partners and  violence and threat management training.  The Mental Health Committee developed educational programs and distributed information on trends in campus mental health. TAT Phase 2: (September 2007 to Present) During Phase 2 the TAT has redefined its objectives to include proactive identification of potential risks, coordinated intervention and response to threatening situations, and planned risk reduction.  The Team has been meeting with various campus representatives and outside professionals. Proactive risk identification is being conducted to recognize those situations or persons that might pose some threat to the Metropolitan Campus.  The TAT has been looking at the types, sources (internal or external), and the pre-incident indicators or potential danger.  The methods of identification include security assessments, surveys, focus groups, individual interviews and review of incident/crime data. The TAT proposes to engage in coordinated intervention in the early stages of a problem.  Its key purposes are to secure additional information on the subject involving his background, motives and readiness for aggression.  The Team has been reviewing practices involving effective communications, referrals, documentation, target & third party support and most incident monitoring & evaluation. The TAT has been developing strategies to reduce the risks and developing education programs.  It has been making recommendations to reduce campus vulnerabilities that can be exploited by those intent on aggression.  It has been examining formalized policies and procedures, identifying high risk transfer students, and security measures to limit exposure to potential problems.  It has recommended and participated in the development of violence prevention education to help the campus community recognize, defuse and become hardened targets of aggression.
