How a threat assessment team tracks students of concern

In light of serious problems in our schools – from student disruptions, fights, even stabbings and shootings – are we doing enough to maintain the peace in our schools without getting caught up in administrative infractions?

In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, sponsored by L3Harris, host Jim Dudley speaks with Jerrie  Newport, one of three Threat Assessment Coordinators for the NEWESD and the Student Threat Assessment program. Jerrie facilitates and trains Level 2 community-wide threat assessment teams using the Salem-Keizer/Cascade threat assessment model for Ferry, Pend Oreille and Stevens Counties.
