Risk management is the strategies and efforts a BTAM team pursues to make a violent outcome less likely, and it should always be driven by the results of the behavioral threat assessment.

A BTAM professional at a major service chain says that when a team member is unsure which route to take, especially in mitigating risk, team members reach out to one another.
So if an individual team member runs into an issue where we feel like we don’t really know which route to take, especially as far as mitigating risk, then we reach out to one another.

Figure 9 continues: Full Assessment (interviews and records review, Systems Approach, Assessment Themes, analysis) leads to a decision whether the IOC poses a risk of harm to self or others. If yes, Implement Risk Management Strategies, then Evaluate, repeating the decision; if no, a check whether the IOC could benefit from other resources. If no, Close BTAM Case (document all actions, findings, and determinations; follow record retention protocols; share information as appropriate), ending in case closure.

Gathering this information enables the BTAM team to gain a reasonable and articulable understanding of the risk posed, identify factors specific to the individual that increase or decrease risk, and determine effective strategies to intervene and prevent a potential escalation to violence.
