Which of the following is NOT a Threat Assessment Opportunity?

• A. Early Warning Signs
• B. Pre-attack Postures
• C. Resistive Tension
• D. Weapon Control

Answer: (D)

Threat assessment focuses on cues that signal potential danger. Early Warning Signs are clues that someone may intend to act violently, such as statements of intent or escalating behavior. Pre-attack Postures refer to body language and movements that show readiness to strike or proceed with an attack. Resistive Tension describes physical signs of hostility or increasing willingness to resist or harm. These are all indicators that help anticipate risk and guide intervention.

Weapon control, while essential for safety, is about securing and managing weapons to reduce harm. It does not itself indicate that a threat is imminent, so it isn’t a threat assessment opportunity.
