Overview of Community Engagement in Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention (TVTP)

Prevention practitioners and community leaders share a common goal: protecting our communities and families from those who wish to commit violent acts, and helping those who might be radicalizing to violence to get the support they need before a violent act is committed. Engaging members of the community is critical for empowering bystanders before it becomes a law enforcement matter. This guide provides practical information for conducting effective community engagement in targeted violence and terrorism prevention.
