Targeted Violence/Active Threat

Advocacy for Violence Reduction

Despite being a fundamentally omnipresent threat, much of the rhetoric around mass attacks tends to be steeped in politics. It is incumbent upon law enforcement leaders to ensure that community stakeholders, legislators, and other groups understand the issues confronting law enforcement and public safety in relation to targeted violence, and that others in the field are able to learn from global best practices.
