BEHAVIORAL THREAT ASSESSMENTS

Taking a Proactive Approach to School Violence

Get a Head Start

Patented StudentSafe™ technology gives your Behavioral Threat Assessment (BTA) teams a head start with access to a student’s full chronology already in the system.

Whether an assessment is escalated from a concern or initiated outright within StudentSafe, authorized team members can access a student’s chronology to understand prior concerns, threat assessments, interventions, progress and more. This can help teams identify root causes for threatening behavior more quickly.

What Our Customers Say

"StudentSafe is a tremendous asset. I’ve been doing threat assessment for about seven years. For me, three key benefits of Raptor StudentSafe is that the organization of the app itself completely walks you through the process, it gives you the ability to collect all that data and analyze it easily, and the ability to collaborate with each other is built in really well. If you want a great organizational tool to keep all your threat assessment information, StudentSafe is pretty complete. "

“Adopting Raptor StudentSafe for our CSTAG platform was a big game changer for us. We’d used different threat assessment tools in the past—including hard copies—but it wasn't consistent across all of our district. Adopting StudentSafe means BTAs are completed consistently in one platform across the schools.”

“Raptor recently released its StudentSafe platform that helps schools recognize, document, and support the well-being of students. By empowering all staff to document and route information to key stakeholders, StudentSafe now gives schools the ability to track, analyze, and document early concerns, and escalate critical items for further assessment. Additionally, StudentSafe helps multidisciplinary teams at schools conduct threat assessments and electronically store the information.”
