ATAP November Meeting Dear ATAP Members, Applicants, and Guests:
Our November meeting is now one week earlier – please join us on October 26 with speaker John Van Dreal! Seating is limited, so please RSVP early.
Friday, October 26, 2018 8:30 am – 12:30 pm Nike World Headquarter Tiger Woods Cente One Bowerman Driv Beaverton, OR 97005
Please RSVP before Friday, October 19, 2018: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ATAPNW_20181026
We expect this training to be available online for active ATAP members.
The NW ATAP Chapter is pleased to announce John Van Dreal School Psychologist and the Director of Safety and Risk Management Services for the Salem-Keizer School District
From Threat Prevention and Response to Options-Based Decision-Making
This presentation will review a training strategy used to prepare non-security staff, such as teachers and education support staff, to identify violence risk factors, report concerns through a systematized threat assessment process, avoid or mitigate danger, and to protect themselves and others during a violent event.
Called options-based decision-making, the instruction centers around a defensive safety strategy tailored to the education community for use during extremely dangerous situations, such as a crisis involving an active shooter. It is a construct that builds on the established professional skill sets of educators, a sense of self-protection, and the ability to gather and use important information during a crisis as a means of improving options to avoid danger, de-escalate aggressive people, and survive. For planning purposes, the Northwest Chapter, and our national and international TAPs have some great training events scheduled in 2018-19. Please mark your calendar!

The Calgary Police Service BEHAVIOURAL SCIENCES UNIT is hosting WAVR -21 Training by Instructors Dr. Reid Meloy and Dr. Stephen Whiteon on March 1-2, 2017 in Calgary, Alberta. The WAVR-21 – Workplace Assessment of Violence Risk – is a 21-item coded instrument for the structured assessment of workplace and campus targeted violence risk. It is appropriate for assessing adults and students 18 years of age or older, including outsiders who may possibly pose a risk of harm to a member or members of an organization. The primary focus of the WAVR-21 is to assess the risk of workplace and campus-related targeted violence. A term originally coined by the behavioral scientists of the US Secret Service, targeted violence refers to situations in which an individual intentionally commits an act of violence against a pre-selected target, whether people or places. Also referred to as intended violence, these acts are potentially foreseeable, as they are the result of an understandable, evolving and often discernible process of thinking, behavior, and preparation. Several of the WAVR-21 factors incorporate this “pathway to violence” escalation dynamic.
