Description: Threat Awareness for Security Professionals is a multi-course, research-based, on-demand training program that provides learners with knowledge, tools, and techniques to identify and assess active threats. Through the active threat assessment methodology, learners are trained to:
· Systematically observe any environment
· Identify potentially threatening individuals and situations
· Assess threat levels using visible behaviors.
Adapted from our nationally certified program for law enforcement, this training is designed for all security professionals who have a mission of observing, interacting with, and protecting the public.
By the end of the program, learners will have a working knowledge of the terms and concepts associated with active threat assessment and be able to:
· Assess a behavioral baseline using the Behavioral Baseline Instrument (BBI).
· Identify the roles, deviations, and objectives of those they are observing.
· Identify behavioral threat indicators and their relevance to the baselining process.
· Identify a Person of Interest (POI) and recognize a potential threat.
The online program is comprised of four courses, including Threat Observation (25-1726). It includes a mix of lectures, videos, and video-based exercises. Completion of this program provides a total of 8 CPE credits to maintain APP, CPP, PCI, and PSP credentials. A free introductory online training is available to learn more about this program. A refresher training is also available.
