ANALYZING THE ACTIONS: HOW BEHAVIORAL TRACKING CAN KEEP YOU SAFE

Content Summary

When looking to secure a workplace or campus, relying on a mental health diagnosis to predict risk is a flawed approach. The data reveals a critical truth: mental illness is not a primary predictor of violence. In fact, only 25% of active shooters are diagnosed with a mental illness, and just 3 had a psychotic disorder.

Instead of focusing on diagnoses, effective prevention relies heavily on tracking observable actions. Security leaders must train their teams to spot tangible Behavioral Warning Signs—such as dramatic changes in demeanor, social withdrawal, aggressive language, or a fixation on violence—and pair them with sharp situational awareness.

Risk Rater supports structured risk awareness to help identify potential warning signs earlier.
