The Homegrown Terrorist Threat and a Threat Evaluation and Management (TEAM) Response
In today’s world, horrendous acts of violence have become all too common. ere is hardly a day that our news doesn’t report some violent crime in our schools or in our workplace. Safety is no longer about physically securing our buildings or hiring security personnel. We must take added precautionary measures that now include attempts to understand who these individuals are and recognize the signs that they exhibit.
