BIT will review all Threat Assessment Reports to determine an appropriate action.

However, it is important to submit a report so the team may determine if a potential threat exists.

To file a Threat Assessment report, go to the Threat Assessment Report Form. Required fields include basic information about the person you are reporting, a description of the incident or behaviors that prompted your report, your name and contact information. BIT may need to contact you for additional information. You will be unable to complete the report without providing your contact information.

Individuals who file a report will receive e-mail confirmation that the report was received and the assessment process was initiated. BIT will review the information and determine appropriate actions to take.
