In Part 2 of this conversation, former FBI agent Katherine Schweit continues her deep dive with experts from Integras Intelligence — unpacking one of the most misunderstood and frustrating questions in the aftermath of targeted violence.

Joining Katherine are:

Michael Ginch, Manager, Investigations
Forhad Razzaque, President

Why many perpetrators have no obvious warning signs — and why that’s increasing
The uncomfortable truth: people close to offenders are often shocked by what happens
Why “being on the radar” can mean almost anything — from minor past incidents to vague concerns
The legal reality: why law enforcement can’t act without threshold evidence
How free speech and civil liberties limit intervention — even when something feels wrong
Why monitoring the internet is not as simple as it sounds (and why it’s impossible to catch everything)
The problem of false positives — and why context matters more than keywords

One of the most striking takeaways from this episode:

👉 Many organisations don’t even have a basic system for reporting concerns.

Which means:

Warning signs may never reach decision-makers
Employees don’t know who to tell
And even when they do… there’s no clear process for action

As the Integras team explains, prevention isn’t about catching everything —it’s about what you do when something is flagged.

You can’t prevent every act of violence.

But you can build systems that make it harder to miss the signals that matter.

Because when something goes wrong, the real question isn’t just:

“Were they on the radar?”

It’s:

“What did we do when they were?”

In Part 1, Katherine breaks down:

What background checks actually reveal
Why investigations are limited by law
And how risk is assessed before an incident
