Behavioral threat assessment and management (BTAM) teams have quickly become a core mechanism via which threats posed by those at risk of committing acts of targeted violence and domestic terrorism are identified, assessed, and managed. These teams are tailored to the environments in which they operate, meaning that in some instances sheriffs will lead these efforts (e.g., county-level sheriff-led teams) while in other instances they will play a supporting role (e.g., school-level school-led teams). This session—co-facilitated by a sheriff currently leading a BTAM team, and a researcher who has studied and evaluated BTAM teams—will use real-world examples to identify critical issues, common challenges, and best practices to keep in mind when designing, implementing, and participating on BTAM teams.
