This section establishes findings related to targeted violence, specifically referencing the February 14, 2018, attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The findings highlight patterns of concerning behavior exhibited by attackers prior to incidents and the potential for prevention through early intervention. The Secret Service National Threat Assessment Center (Center) is recognized for its research on targeted violence and its development of a behavioral threat assessment model. The behavioral threat assessment model involves identifying concerning behaviors, assessing risk, and implementing preventative measures. Effective implementation of this model requires collaboration between law enforcement, mental health professionals, school personnel, and community members.
