Digital Threat Assessment was developed through the need to keep pace with the ever-evolving technology challenges that face our students currently. Successful Violence Threat Risk Assessment can only occur if we have a solid understanding of all data needed to appropriately assess an individuals' potential for violence. An overall assessment of risk cannot be determined without looking at social media and online activity. It is imperative to understand the tools and methods available to identify online threat related behavior.
Real life case examples will be used from subject matter expert work across North America and a significant portion of the day will be spent conducting hands-on searching exercises through the most current social media sites and applications.
Learning Outcomes:
- Digital footprint's role in risk assessment for violence potential.
- Use of social media for public safety and emergency management.
- Capturing and documenting open source social media for data collection and information gathering purposes.
- Procedural recommendations for law enforcement and school administration.
- An understanding of current social media platforms and associated risks.
