The Association of Threat Assessment Professionals (ATAP) was founded in 1992 as a non-profit organization comprised of law enforcement, prosecutors, mental health professionals, corporate security experts, probation and parole personnel and others involved in the area of threat and violence risk assessment. The purpose of ATAP is to afford its members a professional and educational environment to exchange ideas and strategies to address such issues as stalking, threats, and homeland security. The primary focus of this organization is to provide the necessary knowledge, tools, and support to better prepare our membership to handle these types of situations. Our commitment is to expertly address these issues through seminars and training and networking with other professionals working in this field.

“A Near Miss on the Hilltop”… The only near miss on this Canadian hilltop will be Malcolm McGuire, MADR, CFE's exceptional presentation this afternoon, where he expertly navigates a case study, investigation steps, and how a graduate student received the critical help he needed.
