Robert Mahoney: A Better Way to Keep Us Safe

Targeted violence rarely happens without warning. The bigger problem may be that the people noticing those warning signs are not communicating with one another.Robert Mahoney is the founder of TVTP Solutions and a nationally recognized expert in behavioral threat assessment, targeted violence, and terrorism prevention. Drawing on more than 15 years of federal, state, and local government experience, Robert explains why communities must balance security and emergency response with proactive prevention.In this conversation, Robert and Rich discuss: Why targeted violence is often incorrectly described as random  Behavioral changes that may signal a person is struggling  How identity, purpose, and community influence human behavior  Why schools, police, mental health providers, businesses, and community groups must coordinate  How community care teams can connect people with help before a crisis occurs Robert also explains why cameras, metal detectors, hardened buildings, and active-shooter plans are protective measures rather than true prevention. He shares a more human-centered approach built around observation, communication, early support, and coordinated care.Learn more about Robert and his work at https://tvtpsolutions.com/.This episode is sponsored by American Auto Repair.
