The Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas (JCRC) is pleased to offer a Basic Threat Evaluation and Reporting Course (B-TERC), a one-day course designed to help participants identify and report threats or observable behaviors that may concern others. The course is designed to assist in preventing acts of targeted violence such as terrorism, school shootings, attacks on houses of worship, or other mass attacks.  Participants will be taught how to recognize and report concerning behaviors, as well as intervention strategies to move individuals off a path to violence. 

The course is developed by the US Department of Homeland Security and taught by certified master trainers from DHS’s National Threat and Reporting program.
