Threat Assessment & Management
Threat Assessment and Management is a systemized and multidisciplinary approach that involves the careful identification and assessment of behaviors or situations that raise concern. These behaviors often precede violent activity that may occur at the university or to members of the university community. Early identification of these concerning behaviors and situations enables organizations to carefully and thoughtfully take appropriate precautionary steps intended to prevent targeted violence from occurring. Threat Assessment and Management also attempts to provide and/or refer supportive resources, to those who display the concerning behaviors and those that may be impacted.
The North Carolina A&T Threat Assessment Program is a two-tiered approach that includes the Aggie Campus Assessment, Response, and Evaluation (CARE) Team and the Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT).
Together these teams work to proactively address concerns early on, providing tailored support and intervention. The Aggie CARE Team connects students with campus and community resources to address challenges that may negatively impact their academic success and overall well-being. In comparison, BIT works to identify, assess, and mitigate potential threats of harm or violent activity that may impact students, employees, and non-affiliated persons. Our Threat Assessment Program collaborates across departments and external agencies to ensure a coordinated approach to maintaining a safe, supportive, and thriving environment for all members of the university community.
