How can we improve threat detection and behavioral analysis to identify individuals who may be at risk of committing acts of gun violence?

Question

All right, so the question is, how can we improve our threat detection and behavioral analysis in order to help identify individuals that are being active shooters or committing gun violence? Again, this is a complicated question, but I think one of the easiest and initial things that we need to do is we need to be encouraging people and getting people to report behavior, especially behavior that they see online. This is where we know that most active shooters will commit what we call leakage, and that's releasing details or threats as part of their plan. And so when somebody sees that kind of posting online, they need to know to immediately take that seriously. We need people to take screenshots of it and then immediately contact law enforcement. Law enforcement needs to be trained in what to do with that information, on how to get in and look at online search histories, how to look at online activity in order to be able to see if this is an isolated threat or part of a larger trend. That's probably one of the biggest impact areas we're going to have as far as being able to detect threats, is being able to identify it online and then having the investigation techniques and skills necessary to be able to see what an individual is posting and searching about in these online forums.
