Don't make these 3 mistakes in Behavioral Threat Assessment

In this premiere Squad Room episode, Jim Bennett and Rebecca break down three of the biggest mistakes organizations make in behavioral threat assessment—and how to avoid them. Whether you work in education, corporate security, law enforcement, or community leadership, avoiding these pitfalls could mean the difference between preventing v*olence and missing warning signs. 🔍 The 3 Common Mistakes: 1️⃣ Confusing behavioral threat assessment with general emergency preparedness (like fire drills or earthquake plans). 2️⃣ Adding people to a multidisciplinary team without proper training—or failing to track training levels. 3️⃣ Not having a clear, consistent tool or process (like BTAG) to guide team discussions and document findings. You’ll also hear: Rebecca’s journey creating the TAP Matrix for assessing risk factors Jim’s “Are we good?” story and why honesty matters in safety planning Real-world examples of multidisciplinary teams in action Why v*olence prevention is about supporting people, not punishing them 💡 Key takeaway: Having a team isn’t enough—you need the right people, the right process, and the right training. 00:07 Welcome to the Squad Room 01:47 What Is Behavioral Threat Assessment? 02:12 Rebecca’s First Steps in Threat Assessment 04:36 How the Squad Room Format Works 06:17 Common Misconceptions About Threat Assessment 06:54 From SPJ Matrix to BTAG (Bolante.NET Threat Assessment Guide) 07:49 Building a Multidisciplinary Safety Team 09:40 From Assessment to Case Management 11:01 The “Are We Good?” Story 13:43 Why Training Gaps Put Teams at Risk 20:28 Closing Thoughts & What’s Next 🔗 Resources & Links: Learn more & join the Good Squad: AreWeGood.net Pathway to V*olence (Calhoun & Weston) – foundational resource Follow us on LinkedIn & share this episode with your team ☕ Refill Jim’s Cup: Enjoying the show?

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
