School Information A school threat assessment inquiry should begin with what is known about the student from records, teacher interviews, and other information easily accessed at the school and from school officials.
As investigators proceed with a threat assessment investigation, they continuously should ask themselves the following questions: Does the information collected prompt more concern or less concern about the possibility that the student is moving on a path toward a school attack? What information might prompt less concern? What information might heighten concern? What options exist for intervening in the behavior of or redirecting the student away from ideas of or plans for a school attack? Should potential targets be contacted, warned, and/or protected? As with a threat assessment inquiry, it is critical that investigators document and keep a record of the information that they gather and evaluate in carrying out a school threat assessment investigation.
