As part of the FBI’s organizational shift following mass attacks in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Parkland, Florida, the Threat Assessment Threat Management (TATM) Initiative was established in 2018. The purpose of the TATM Initiative is to educate, lead, and support the incorporation of proactive law enforcement strategies to prevent acts of terrorism and mass casualty targeted violence. To reinforce this effort, the FBI, with the support of local/state law enforcement builds operational response capabilities (TATM teams) for their communities. Each local law enforcement panel participant represents a version of these teams, which vary in scale. The content will give your audience varying perspectives from local law enforcement, challenges each agency (to include the FBI) overcame, and specific guidance on how to implement and achieve success (with an emphasis on establishing TATM teams, developing relationships with nontraditional partners, managing/maintaining these relationships, obtaining funding and resources, best practices and lessons learned).
