Sponsored by the Office of Community Oriented Policing and in partnership with the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators, this report examines eight case studies of incidents in which planned violence targeting institutions of higher education was averted by the potential attackers’ peers, school administrators, and other campus safety stakeholders including law enforcement.  Each case includes a discussion of lessons learned by examining the potential attackers’ intentions and the actions of those who averted the attack.  The report is based on information from the Averted School Violence database, created in 2014 by the National Police Foundation.  The database has been expanded to provide a platform for sharing information about averted incidents of violence in elementary and secondary schools as well as higher education campuses.

This webinar, funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance and hosted by the Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Abuse Program (COSSAP) team, TASC’s Center for Health and Justice, and the International Association of Fire Chiefs, is providing an overview of Operation Safe Station.

The County Office of the Commonwealth Attorney, Arlington, Virginia; the Arlington Police Department; the Arlington County Sheriff's Office; and the U.S. Department of Human Services have collaborated to develop a process by which individuals who seek help with their drug use self-report and receive services without fear of prosecution and incarceration.

This no-cost Web event, sponsored by the Bureau of Justice Assistance and hosted by the Preventing Violence Against Law Enforcement and Ensuring Officer Resilience and Survivability (VALOR) Program, focuses on practical strategies and solutions to mitigate stress among law enforcement officers and their families. By helping families cope with the stress and worries that accompany the experience of having a family member in law enforcement, agencies can keep their officers healthier, safer, and better able to protect and serve their
communities. Healthy and resilient officers are better prepared to perform their jobs to the best of their abilities, enhancing both officer and community safety.
