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
