# HomicideZero

> HomicideZero (homicidezero.com) builds behavioral threat assessment tools and training to prevent homicide and targeted violence. The Zero Tools are two structured instruments: the Homicide Threat Screener (HTS), a rapid screener for frontline staff, and the Violence Safety and Risk Assessment (VSRA), a comprehensive evaluation for trained mental health professionals, delivered on a platform with resource-matching guidance and case documentation. The company also publishes research summaries, mass shooting data, and an Insights blog, and runs the training platform HomicideZero Learn.

## Who we are

HomicideZero is dedicated to preventing homicide through evidence-based screening, assessment, and intervention tools that help mental health professionals, law enforcement, educators, and other frontline workers identify individuals who may be at risk and connect them with appropriate resources. It was co-founded by mental health clinicians and technologists. Dr. Robert Moore (EdD, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, Licensed Professional Counselor) is Chief Clinical Officer and the researcher behind the instruments, which came out of his clinical work assessing homicidal ideation.
