Why are thousands of preventable tragedies not prevented?
Proactive pre-incident prevention actions were not taken by community resources.
Why were pre-incident actions not taken?
The bigger picture of warning signs and concerning behaviors exhibited by at-risk / evildoers were not seen by the right community resources/team members.
Why were exhibited behaviors not seen by existing team of community resources?
Every day we see incidents in news headlines (thousands every year) that expose recurring failures of the deeply flawed conventional Information Sharing model.
What are the recurring failures?
We hear and see excuses that pre-incident warning signs were missed, concerning behaviors were ignored, and failed to connect the dots. The reality is pre-incident information was scattered across numerous silos and information sharing efforts failed. Research also reveals hundreds of recurring failures and problems due to biases, distrust, turf wars, politics, egos, race, religion, geopolitics, privacy misunderstandings, departmental, location, law enforcement, mental health, healthcare, and others.
The conventional Information Sharing model also fails because of flawed incident reporting models. “See Something Say Something” options at federal, state, and local levels all go to silos. Hotlines, text lines, apps, emails, websites, trusted adults, law enforcement, mental health, nonprofits, and other incident reporting options can end up in silos, and the information is not shared.
What are other incident reporting problems?
There are four other primary problems. The first problem is lack of awareness of what to report. The second problem is who/where to report incidents. The third problem that gets a lot of attention is people don’t report because they do not want to be a snitch, but it is not the main reason people don’t report. The fourth problem is a huge problem, people stop reporting incidents because when they reported incidents previously, nothing happened.
The Awareity First Preventers Framework equips and empowers communities to solve hundreds of recurring problems. The more effective “Information Collecting and Connecting model” equips community resources to see information from multiple sources and prevent more incidents before they occur, saving lives, reputations, and MILLIONS of dollars that could be better utilized for other community needs.
