The training materials provide in-depth information, model policies and sample operational guidelines, protocols for law enforcement interviews of students at school, threat assessment team models, and related research studies. The training targets actions based on behavioral assessments and focuses attention to school and public safety concerns as well as legal issues involved in the process of managing potentially dangerous student behavior.
