Terrorism and Targeted Violence Prevention Programs and Grant Resources
At a recent SEHSA Environmental Health and Safety Association, Inc conference I had the opportunity to attend a presentation given by Kevin Black from Squad 9, LLC who specialize in consulting and investigations and are former employees with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Kevin gave a very enlightening and informative presentation. For any conference hosts out there in environmental health and safety, public safety, emergency response and related fields, I would encourage you to consider inviting Kevin to give his presentation at your conference.
During the presentation, Kevin mentioned the publication “Making Prevention A Reality: Identifying, Assessing, and Managing the Threat of Targeted Attacks”. After attending Kevin’s presentation and then looking through the publication, I thought I would put together a list of useful resources on targeted violence prevention as well as grant resources for available funding.
