United States Attorney’s Office in Iowa and and educators to host school threats forum

Federal courthouse, Northern District of Iowa in Cedar Rapids

CEDAR RAPIDS, IA – The United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Iowa recently collaborated with prosecutors, law enforcement, mental health providers, and school officials to discuss how best to prevent and address school threats.  The group gathered existing resources and developed their own materials to build a school threats prevention resource guide.

The group is now following that effort by moderating a School Threats Forum.  The forum will be held at Center-Point Urbana High School and will include moderated discussion and audience questions detailing the prevention of and response to school threats. The forum will address mental health resources available in the community as well as behavioral indicators that may present cause for concern. Law enforcement officers and prosecutors will discuss how undeterred behavior can potentially lead to the involvement of the criminal justice system.

Numerous local agencies will be represented at the forum, including the United States Attorney’s Office, Center Point-Urbana High School, the Linn County Attorney’s Office, the Sixth Judicial District Juvenile Court Services, the Abbe Center for Community Mental Health, Foundation2, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and the Linn County Sheriff’s Office.
