The Threat Assessment and Management Team Training initiative aims to enhance the effectiveness of threat assessment and management practices in Vermont's higher educational institutions, residential campuses, and medium-to-large employers, which encompass hospitals, healthcare facilities, and state agencies. This 24-month initiative will offer multiple full-day basic and advanced training sessions to improve existing Threat Assessment Teams, foster the establishment of new teams, and provide access to nationally recognized presenters and best practices. By leveraging these opportunities, the initiative seeks to equip Vermont organizations with the skills and knowledge needed to identify and manage potential threats, ultimately enhancing community safety and security.

To realize this project, we have established a strategic partnership with the following organization to execute and expand its scope:

The Grant Team is thrilled to announce our partnership with Ontic to provide extensive training for Threat Assessment Teams. Ontic boasts a successful collaboration history with the Vermont School Safety Center, and we are eager to build upon the foundational work already initiated within Vermont's K-12 communities.
