Prevent Mass Violence Research has found that mass shooters don’t just snap. They spend time thinking about violence and they plan, prepare, and often share indicators before their attacks. This means there are opportunities to identify someone who is on a pathway to violence - and prevent their attack. Studies have also proven that before most mass attacks, someone observed concerning behaviors that were signs the person was on a path to violence. The people who noticed were often friends, family, schoolmates, coworkers, or loved ones. YOU may be in a unique position to observe these signs in someone you know. Educating yourself on what to look for can be the key to preventing an attack of mass violence in your community. |
RECENT EVENTS Law Enforcement Appreciation Event - July 27 The FBIDVRCAAA Board and a few alumni members traveled to police and sheriff departments in Cheyenne as well as the metro Denver area to deliver doughnuts, appreciation cards, and BIG THANKS!! Not only did we meet some amazing law enforcement officers, we also met Mercury, the hero K-9! And, because of their participation, one of our members will have the opportunity to participate in a ride-along with an on-duty officer! |
2024 Chapter Challenge! We want to give you an opportunity to acknowledge, recognize and thank law enforcement officers and agents and other first responders for all they do to keep us safe! We have created five different note cards that you can easily carry in your wallet and hand out to police officers, FBI agents, or other peacekeepers in the community to thank them for their service. Our challenge is to have each member hand out 5-10 of these cards this year (goal of 1,500 cards). Members have taken over 1,300 cards thus far to hand out! We are way ahead of our goal! But we still need your help in meeting our Challenge goal! You can request as many cards as you'd like to hand out, and we will either send them to you or have them for you at the next Chapter meeting! Contact us at questionsfbidvrcaaa@gmail.com. |
