Report A Threat

If you have information on a suspected, planned, or openly voiced targeted act of violence that may occur, call 911 immediately.

When a person is planning an act of targeted violence, they usually exhibit pre-attack behaviors – many of which relate to an emotional or mental health crisis or problematic interpersonal interactions – which can be resolved with intervention.

By bringing concerning behavior to the attention of LIVTAC, individuals skilled in targeted violence prevention, will assess and manage the LIVTAC. Many times, this work results in guiding a person away from a path of violence.

You should contact LIVTAC to report a threat if a classmate, co-worker, partner, family member, friend, or neighbor is demonstrating concerning behavior such as:

​​

• Obsession over grievances 

• Expressions of injustice and need for revenge

• Identifying with past violent assailants

• Sudden or inappropriate, or excessive consumption of violent media and content

• Sudden change in personality and/ or appearance

• Threatening and/ or stalking behavior 

• Suspicious inquiries

• Probing security measures

• Acquiring and/ or stockpiling of weapons

• Workplace violence

• School violence
