The New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness (NJOHSP) will sponsor a one-day training course titled, Basic Threat Evaluation and Reporting Course (B-TERC) (PER-229). The course will be delivered by the National Center for Biomedical Research and Training (NCBRT) at Louisiana State University (LSU), a member of the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC). There is no-cost to attend this training.
Description:
The Basic Threat Evaluation and Reporting Course (B-TERC) will assist homeland security partners in identifying concerning or threatening behaviors in an effort to prevent mass attacks and targeted violence, regardless of motivation or ideology. The purpose of B-TERC is to empower federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial homeland security partners to identify behavioral threats through the review of tips and leads to reduce the potential for violence within their areas of responsibility. This 8-hour course is designed to respond to an evolving threat landscape in the United States. As incidents of targeted violence continue to increase, the perpetrators of these incidents are often not ideologically motivated and do not appear to fit the definition of a terrorist. Perpetrators of these incidents are often responding to a perceived grievance, which can vary in nature. B-TERC builds upon the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative, expanding beyond potential acts of terrorism, and provides a methodology for violence prevention that trains partners to identify threats to homeland security, regardless of motive.
Audience:
The target audience for B-TERC is federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial partners involved in law enforcement, homeland security, school safety, or intelligence organizations. The participants should have experience in workplace violence prevention, insider threat, school safety, terrorism prevention, or other public safety fields. It is preferred that participants have experience in vetting and analysis of tips and leads, law enforcement investigation techniques and methods, and professional or academic experience in behavioral threat assessment and/or targeted violence prevention.
