UCLA Threat Response Task Force 2023 Progress Report

UCLA Threat Response Task Force Spring 2022 Report to the Chancellor


The Threat Response Task Force (TRTF) will examine UCLA’s systematic approach to how information about threat is received, assessed, responded to, and managed for the UCLA community; how corresponding threats are evaluated by the relevant campus entities, including UCPD, Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT), Consultation Response Team (CRT), UCLA Health Threat Assessment Team (TAT) and with which administrative units they collaborate; how and when cross-campus leadership and key administrative and academic units are made aware of such potential threats; how determinations are made about how and when to notify the broader community to ensure confidence and trust is maintained; which methods are most appropriate when notifying the campus community; and the effectiveness of different types of messaging.
