Don’t scroll past the signs. If you see alarming behavior online–like threatening comments, obsessive posts about grievances, and references to violent incidents, these could be early warning signs of acts of targeted violence. Learn what to do at https://t.co/ay76218QyZ.
Factors leading to targeted violence can be wide-ranging. In many instances, targeted violence incidents are preventable. Recognizing & reporting warning signs – like threatening behavior, workplace aggression, or grievance obsession – can help stop violence before it happens.
ROCTAC set the standard in NY State for effective interagency collaboration to combat targeted violence, and now the US Secret Service recognizes it as a national model. The entire USSS guide featuring ROCTAC can be viewed at https://t.co/uilrgYQonP
ROCTAC is made up of nearly 30 different agencies who work together to determine if a person is a threat and what to do about it. We so appreciate our partners. @roctac
