Brightpoint is concerned about the safety, health and well-being of all of its students, faculty and staff. In adherence to Virginia Code 23-9.2:10, Brightpoint established a Threat Assessment Team (TAT), comprised of representatives of Student Services, Law Enforcement, Security Services, Human Resources and faculty. The team meets on a regular basis under the leadership of the Dean of Students and the Security Manager.

The TAT is charged with addressing all reported behavioral issues that occur on a Brightpoint campus, at an off-site location, online, or on an electronic site including email, blogs, social media and Canvas postings. Off-campus and electronic, social media or online behavior of students, staff, faculty, individuals, or third parties may be considered and investigated by the TAT in instances where a threat is thought to exist in the college community. The TAT will ensure every referral is addressed.

The mission of the Brightpoint TAT is to facilitate a safe college community through a coordinated, systemic, collaborative, objective, unbiased, thoughtful, proactive approach with strong emphasis on prevention through identification of the potential threats, assessments of said threats, interventions, management and follow up of any and all situations that pose or are thought to pose potential threats to the safety and well-being of individuals on campus as well as to the college community.

Report a TAT Incident

For more information on TAT, please see the Workplace Violence and Threat Assessment Team Policy.

  • Any self-injurious behaviors, suicidal ideation, erratic behaviors that disrupt teaching or college activities, or behaviors that might compromise safety should be referred. When in doubt, make the referral.

  • If you feel there is an immediate threat, dial 911 or call College Security Services at 804-897-6678 (Midlothian) or 804-796-4025 (Chester).

    To make a referral, submit our TAT Incident Report. You will be asked for basic information about the individual, how the TAT may contact you, and for a description of the incident or behaviors that prompted the referral. If preferred, you may also contact Sandra Kirkland, Dean of Students; Michelle Spencer, Associate Dean of Students; or Barry Allen, Security Manager.

  • Anyone who feels an individual associated with Brightpoint are threats to themselves and/or the college community may make a referral.

  • The TAT members will take the information provided and make a recommendation regarding appropriate action.

  • You do not have to make this determination. If another campus resource is more appropriate, the TAT will refer the student and handle the transfer of information.

    The TAT members will take the information provided and make a recommendation regarding appropriate action.
