Threat Evaluation and Management
The Threat Evaluation and Management (TEM) unit provides a proactive approach to preventing violence by:
- evaluating the potential for targeted violence; and
- implementing plans to reduce or eliminate the risk of a violent act occurring.
TEM can assist investigators in the allocation of resources by:
- categorizing the threat;
- evaluating the potential violence or risk;
- suggesting intervention strategies; and
- suggesting victim safety plans.
Typical files where TEM may provide an assessment include:
- criminal harassment (stalking);
- threats to public or political figures;
- threatening correspondence;
- workplace and school violence;
- domestic violence;
- threats to police officers and any other potential for targeted violence; and
- terrorism.
