Mission Statement
The Behavior Intervention Team is dedicated to a proactive, coordinated and planned approach to the identification, prevention, assessment, management, and reduction of interpersonal and behavioral threats to the safety and well-being of Lanier Technical College students, faculty, staff and visitors.
Goals
- Provide a safe physical environment for members of the college community,
- Provide a safe emotional environment for the college community, and
- Promote peace of mind for friends and family of the college community.
LTC has established the Behavioral Intervention Team to assist in addressing situations where students, faculty, or staff are displaying behaviors that are disruptive, threatening, or concerning in nature that potentially impede their own or others’ ability to function successfully or safely. It is the responsibility of faculty, staff, and students to immediately report any situation that could possibly result in harm to anyone at the college. Any member of the campus community may become aware of a troubling person or situation that is causing serious anxiety, stress, or fear. However, behavioral assessment should not be confused with crises management. A crisis may be defined where a person may pose an active or immediate risk of violence to self or others. LTC employs certified police officers to provide police services on all campuses. Officers may be reached at one of these phone numbers; contact 911 if you have an emergency.
Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) Concern Form – For non-emergency situations, click the link and follow the prompts to submit your concern. If this is a life threatening emergency, please dial 911.
The team will coordinate a team response to the issue and keep you informed. This may include interim suspension and removal from class and/or campus until the threat can be assessed. Please also inform your division chair, dean or supervisor of any ongoing issues.
