Threat Assessment: The making of a team
In the 21st century schools that were once considered safe and secure environments have
become hunting grounds for voracious predators and the target for savage attacks.
Unfortunately the efforts that have been made to stop these types of violent attacks has had
limited success. So what else can be done? Imagine if you could identify potential
aggressors and mitigate the possibility of such attacks. This presentation addresses the
implementation of a threat assessment system that follows the recommendations of the
Safe Schools Initiative, U.S, Department of Education, and the United States Secret
Service. Participants will learn the basic concepts of threat assessment, the outlined
process for developing and use of a multidisciplinary team, protocols to assess threats,
document considerations, and interventions.

Officer Nick Ingle, Guilderland Police Deptartment

Bullying and DASA
Bullying is an explosive topic! Almost everyday we hear something related to
bullying in the news media. In fact, the word “Bullying” is now applied purposely to
invoke emotional responses. Those of us working with young people spend
countless hours addressing “Bullying” issues, but what exactly is Bullying? What
about Cyberbullying? Is Bullying against the law? Is there a “Profile” describing the
typical Bully? What can we do about Bullying? This workshop will address these
questions and topics. This course will also discuss the new mandates regarding
DASA, Dignity for All Students Act. All children have the right to attend school in a
safe and caring environment, and NYS has addressed that issue relative to
bullying, harassment, cyberbulling and discrimination through the DASA.
This course will be presented by Frank Kolarik, of Listen Up Safety Services. Frank is a
retired police detective from Westchester County, NY with over 15 years of experience in
working with schools as a youth officer.
