The Association of Threat Assessment Professionals and the Los Angeles Police Department Threat Management Unit are pleased to present the Thirty-Fourth Annual Threat Management Conference, taking place August 11–14, 2026, at The Disneyland Resort Hotel in Anaheim, California. This annual conference brings together professionals across threat assessment, public safety, behavioral science, legal, education, corporate security, and victim services fields to explore current issues, research, and practices related to the prevention of targeted violence.
This year’s conference will focus on major areas of concern, including mass shootings and other public attacks, workplace violence, school and campus violence, domestic violence, assassination of public figures, and related threat management challenges. Attendees will hear from nationally recognized speakers who will share timely information, case-informed insights, research findings, and practical techniques designed to support effective prevention, intervention, and response strategies.
The conference is designed for a multidisciplinary audience, including law enforcement, prosecutors and private practice attorneys, corporate security, legal and human resources professionals, school and university administrators, resource officers, counselors, mental health and behavioral science professionals, psychologists, executive protection professionals, threat assessment practitioners and researchers, victim/witness coordinators, and probation and parole officials.
The 2026 Threat Management Conference has been approved for 14.75 continuing education credits for psychologists across select sessions. Attendees seeking APA continuing education credits will be required to submit the APA Continuing Education Attestation Form, which will be made available at the event.
