DYNAMIC THREAT RECOGNITION

DYNAMIC THREAT RECOGNITION & DECISION (DTRD) Right after Sandy Hook, State Attorney Generals were directed to check that organizations in their State were providing the Standard of Care required to protect individuals from active shooter violence, and in mid 2013, new initiatives synchronized findings with Federal Agencies’ research. The departments of Homeland Security, Justice, Health and Human Services worked together & issue recommendations to prepare for this violence. Models like Hide, Run, Fight or Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuate, were implemented across the country. These changes provided invaluable best practices and recommendations learned from past active shooter incidents and the steps to follow to reduce the number of casualties. The adoption of these programs have made significant safety improvements and provided the platform and security protocols to be used when schools encountered active shooter violence. The implementation of these methodologies is now the accepted Standard of Care, which is the duty to protect all individuals under our care. To date, all of these present programs are reactive, ultimately depending on the Police for protection. The Secret Service, the FBI, Homeland Security, and every department in the local, state, or federal law enforcement unit advocate against Police dependence as they arrive post incident. OUR PROGRAM FOR PREVENTION AND EARLY INTERVENTION: ELEVATING THE STANDARD OF CARE We lead the nation in preventing active shooter, workplace violence programs because we put in place multiple disciplines. We provide you a true (not over the phone) assessment of strengths, electronic media monitoring technology, the industry-leading tip acquisition and management software, formal classroom indoctrination (24-70 hours) for teachers/administrators, one on one onsite organizational support during the initial roll-out. Our program lets you discover and evaluate triggers, and determine when intervention is required. This affords administrators the ability to intervene before violence takes place. Prevention. Miami Beach Police Chief Daniel Oates, who was the Chief of Police in Aurora when the 2012 theater massacre took place refers to the process as: “Somehow, somewhere, there are indicators. But we got to know. If we don’t know it, we can’t act.” In the Virginia Tech shooting, the police advised the press that “the information was knowable and out there, but we failed to connect the dots.” Our program takes away the dependence in the Police for protection, and ineffective physical security measures and focuses attention on precursors (behaviors) to obtain advance warning. Triggers from the Secret Service: • Other people know about the attacker's idea and/or plan to attack • Some behavior causes concern or an indication for help arise • Someone has difficulty coping with losses, personal failures, considered or attempted suicide • Someone feels bullied, persecuted, or injured by others • Other individuals are involved in some capacity.

DTRD Proprietary Training The Dynamic Threat Recognition & Decision-making (DTRD) and the process that follows is intended to provide a blueprint, or starting point, to help organizations face a more complex challenge. It supports prevention initiatives developed by the Secret Service and state actors to elevate the current expectations (Standard of Care) and makes relevant recommendations and guidelines. Active Shooter to Hostile Intruder Historical data supports the growing threat of explosives used in conjunction with firearms, so we updated the term to reflect its new complexity.
