Colorado Targeted Violence: Indicators and Risk Factors: Tracking gaps and trends informs the nature, extent, and scope of targeted violence and the development of effective prevention programming. As Colorado expands and strengthens its efforts to prevent targeted violence, data collection and information-sharing will be essential to making the best use of resources while gaining more knowledge and establishing evidence for how we prevent future attacks. The Gaps and Trends report compiles Colorado specific risk factors and indicators. The data informed threat assessment and management training for this grant and may be helpful to inform other targeted violence prevention planning efforts.
We are pleased to announce the coordination of a Department of Homeland Security grant, in the amount of $565,600 for a period of two years, to be awarded to the DeAngelis Center Foundation in Colorado. Nicoletti-Flater Associates and the DeAngelis Center Foundation are partnering jointly to implement the programs provided by the grant funding.
The Jeffco DeAngelis Foundation/DeAngelis Center Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on targeted violence prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery training as well as providing trainings at our Frank DeAngelis Center for Community Safety. Nicoletti-Flater Associates is a team of police and public safety psychologists that specialize in both insider and outsider threat assessment as well as trauma recovery after mass casualty events.
The DeAngelis Center Foundation and Nicoletti Flater Associates have teamed up to offer a complete training series that will help your agency to build capacity to assess and disrupt threats of violence and radicalization. This four level training is FREE to participants.
