6. Basic Threat Assessment Team Protocols The central question is not whether the individual has made a threat but whether he/she poses a threat. Threat Assessment Team will: Gather information about individual of concern Interview as needed the individual, faculty/staff, family, friends Evaluate information gathered using predetermined rubric and professional advise Motive/Opportunity/Means Make recommendations for a course of action to mitigate an event

7. Basic Threat Observation Moderate Threat:(refer to counseling &/or Lynne) Repeated disruption – likely distressed Possible threat made but may be indirect, inconsistent, implausible Elevated Threat:(refer to Threat Assessment team– Marcene/Lynne) Seriously disruptive behavior – clear distress Possible threat made – is consistent and plausible, more detailed and suggests potential to be carried out Extreme Threat: Individual’s behavior has changed or medically disturbed Threat is concrete, consistent, plausible, detailed, reference to means, threatener seems detached
