Why Us?
Digital Threat Assessment® is the missing link for Safety and Threat Assessment Teams. When initiating and engaging in a Threat Assessment, the analysis of an individual’s digital footprint is often overlooked. The omission of an individual’s online activities and digital behavior can negatively impact a Threat Assessment and your teams intervention efforts to prevent violence.
SST is invaluable to our customers because we provide the knowledge and tools necessary to identify and mitigate potential threats before they escalate into violence. By offering specialized training in Behavioral and Digital Threat Assessment®, we empower educators, administrators, and safety professionals to proactively address safety concerns. This proactive approach not only enhances the immediate safety of school environments but also fosters a culture of vigilance and preparedness, ensuring a supportive and secure atmosphere conducive to learning and development.

GRIP: Gang Reduction Through Informed Practice
Due to the nature of today’s digital landscape, the level of violence associated with today’s youth gangs continues to rise. The need for prevention, early identification, and intervention of high-risk and vulnerable youth (HRVY) at the community level is essential for combatting gang and gun violence. Developing and implementing community-based programs and initiatives that provide a continuum of care for youth and their families can help prevent gang recruitment and gang-associated lifestyle-related risks that impact communities.

SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING,
WE WILL DO SOMETHING
In many school violence cases, other students knew about pre-attack planning and either did not feel comfortable approaching an adult or were fearful of other students finding out they “told.” PSSTWorld provides a solution.
PSSTWorld is an anonymous online reporting tool where students can report anything worrisome directly to School Safety / Threat Assessment Teams. It provides students with a quick, safe, and anonymous way to report bullying, abuse, weapons, drugs, sex crimes, suicidal thoughts, vandalism, discrimination, threats of school attack, and any other safety concerns. Submissions are immediately sent to the email inbox of your chosen safety designate within your school, school district, or community.
An implementation package and promotional resources will be provided; we recommend having one of our trainers deliver assembly-style presentations to students, staff, and parents. All presentations include a walkthrough of PSSTWorld and focus on the importance of being a responsible digital citizen.
