Hawaiʻi Targeted Violence Prevention: How CrisisWire Strengthens the State’s Mission

What the State Covers — and What’s Missing

The Office of Homeland Security (OHS) has launched a Targeted Violence Prevention (TVP) program to prevent violence before it happens. Hawaiʻi’s model uses a public-health lens, with certified trainers helping build Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management (BTAM) teams across institutions.

But public programs are not designed to replace private, professional threat assessments. Gaps remain in hospitals, schools, and corporate settings. That’s where CrisisWire Threat Management Solutions bridges the divide.

Hawaiʻi’s Office of Homeland Security leads statewide targeted violence prevention (TVP).

Deep Analysis: What TVP Provides vs. Where CrisisWire Adds Value

• State Coverage

  • 2022 Hawaiʻi TVP Strategy

  • 2024 TVP Implementation Plan

  • $803,330 DHS grant awarded to expand training (OHS release)

• Limitations

  • Public focus on imminent violence only.

  • Lack of deep-dive insider threat auditing.

  • Generic, not tailored to individual organizations.

• CrisisWire Value Add

  • Custom audits: schools, hospitals, SMBs.

  • Integration with FEMA Continuity Guidelines.

  • Cyber-physical reviews aligned with CISA standards.

  • CEO/board liability briefings per Leadership Liability in Crisis (Scribd).

Case Studies: Real-World Gaps

• Schools: State BTAM training reduces imminent risks, but systemic gaps remain. CrisisWire adds visitor management audits, as detailed in School Threat Assessments 2025 (Academia.edu) and School Threat Assessments 2025 (Archive.org).

• Hospitals: OHS does not provide internal audits for HIPAA/data access risks. CrisisWire builds on research like Insider Threats in Hospitals (Academia.edu) and Insider Threats in Hospitals (Scribd).

• Corporations: Public programs don’t cover insider risks or ransomware. CrisisWire draws from SMB Survival vs Collapse (Archive.org) and Insider Threat Audit 10 Steps (Academia.edu).

📺 Video resources: CrisisWire Video 1 and CrisisWire Video 2 show why organizations can’t ignore insider risk in practice.

Leadership Liability: Why Blended Models Are Required

• As Campus Under Siege (Amazon) and Locked Down Blueprint (Amazon) argue, leaders who skip assessments face existential risks.
