This the first of three episodes in our series on Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management with guests and LSU NCBRT/ACE subject matter experts Roy Bethge, Mark DuPont, Courtney Tassin, and Maggie Varela.

In this episode, they discuss why a whole community approach is necessary, how the BTAM model can bridge the gap between identifying potential threats and responding to violent acts, and the difference between the BTAM model and other risk assessment tools.

The next episode in this series will air on Tuesday, January 31st.
