This week, members of the Sheriff's Command Staff attended a regional conference at The John Jay College of Criminal Justice on preventing targeted acts of violence presented by New York State Homeland Security and Emergency Services.
The two-day seminar included a discussion on current trends and best practices being employed to prevent targeted violence. Discussions on identifying behavioral indicators that addressed early can mitigate future potential acts of violence.
The Putnam County Sheriff's Office is the lead agency for Putnam County's threat assessment program. Please visit PCTAM.NET(https://pctam.net/) for information, and if you need to report suspicious behavior that you feel should be investigated.
