Businesses & employers
Mid-size and multi-site employers use P2 to connect HR, managers, and security around a single process, especially when insurance, duty of care, or prior incidents have raised the stakes.
Program tier P2
Threat assessment teams that work before the crisis
Most organizations train for response. Fewer build a disciplined process for recognizing concerning behavior early. P2 helps you stand up or strengthen a multidisciplinary threat assessment team, and connect it to policy, reporting, and leadership accountability.
What’s included
From “we should form a team” to a working process
P2 is not another awareness seminar. It is team development and consulting: who sits on the team, how concerns enter the system, what gets documented, and how decisions get made under incomplete information.
Why teams fail without structure
Without a defined team, concerning behavior often lives in email threads, hallway rumors, or one supervisor’s memory. P2 creates a repeatable process so serious concerns are assessed, documented, and owned, without turning every difficult employee or student into a “threat.”
- Team design Roles across HR, security, leadership, and legal or student-services partners.
- Behavioral threat indicators Training on pre-incident patterns, not only response after an event.
- Policy connection Workplace violence prevention language that supports the team’s work.
- Reporting pathways Guidance on anonymous and named reporting considerations.
- Case discussion practice Structured conversations so the team can exercise judgment together.
- Documentation habits Practical record-keeping so concerns and decisions stay continuous and defensible.

By vertical
Where threat assessment teams add the most value
Schools
Education settings benefit from multidisciplinary assessment that respects student privacy, documentation needs, and the difference between disciplinary issues and true threat concerns.
Healthcare
Clinics and care facilities can align team processes with workplace violence prevention planning, supporting both staff safety and compliance conversations where RCW 49.19 applies.
Faith communities
Larger churches and multi-campus ministries use P2-style structure when volunteer safety teams need leadership oversight, reporting clarity, and consistent decision-making.
P2 FAQ
Common questions about threat assessment teams
What is a threat assessment team?
A multidisciplinary group that evaluates concerning behavior early, documents decisions, and coordinates interventions. It is about prevention and structured judgment, not only emergency response after an active threat begins.
Do we need P1 before P2?
Not always. Many organizations start with P1 foundational training for broad staff awareness, then move to P2 for leadership and specialist roles. Others begin with P2 when the gap is process, not awareness.
Is this legal advice?
No. FRTG provides practitioner-led training and consultative support. Legal, employment, and privacy decisions remain with your counsel and leadership. We help the team operate with clarity.
Can P2 pair with drills or site assessments?
Yes. Teams often pair with P3 recurring readiness for tabletops and with P4 specialty work when physical security findings should inform assessment priorities.
