Threat Analysis and Vulnerability Assessment

Millions of violent crimes are committed every year and in many cases there was an identifying factor that, if recognized, could have prevented the act. By using threat analysis and vulnerability assessment of threats and crime scenes, law enforcement can more easily prioritize crimes. Through threat vulnerability assessment, investigators can learn to assess the level of danger of a particular criminal before the situation intensifies. 

The Academy Group's threat analysis and vulnerability assessment seminar covers topics such as understanding criminal psychology, interviewing mentally disordered subjects, and assessing the criminal personality indirectly. Understanding the offender's thought process is an essential element in threat vulnerability assessment, that can reveal intent. 

Another essential element of threat vulnerability assessment is interpreting recorded conversations or documents left by the offender through forensic stylistics and content analysis, also covered in the AGI's threat vulnerability assessment seminar. Also covered in the threat analysis and vulnerability assessment seminar are topics such as gathering behavioral data, diffusing angry subjects, and the behavioral aspects of documents.

The threat vulnerability assessment seminars offered by the Academy Group are taught by former FBI and US Secret Service agents who have dealt with some of the most notorious and violent criminals.
