Foundations of Targeted Violence Prevention

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), National Threat Evaluation and Reporting (NTER) Program Office has partnered with the Wisconsin Department of Justice and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction to release a bystander awareness eLearning module titled, “Foundations of Targeted Violence Prevention".

The goal of this eLearning module is to educate the public on threatening or potentially concerning behaviors and where to report them, providing an opportunity for intervention to prevent targeted violence from occurring. It seeks to assist in preventing targeted violence by empowering community members to recognize threats or potentially concerning behaviors, understand what behaviors may be displayed by a person who is on a pathway to violence, learn where to report information of concern, and understand how the information reported will be used to keep our community safe.
