So, Frank expands on the critical importance of threat assessment.
Frank & Amber discuss the evolution of learning when it comes to identifying potential workplace violence threats, what we need to understand and why it’s important to your organization. Frank also explains exactly what a threat assessment professional’s duties are and are not. Frank also discusses the broad potential fix for the active assailant issue and how a smaller company can implement a program without a ton of staff. And what about “soft” landings?
