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.
\nJoining Katherine are:
\nMichael Ginch, Manager, Investigations
\nForhad Razzaque, President
\nWhy many perpetrators have no obvious warning signs — and why that’s increasing
\nThe uncomfortable truth: people close to offenders are often shocked by what happens
\nWhy “being on the radar” can mean almost anything — from minor past incidents to vague concerns
\nThe legal reality: why law enforcement can’t act without threshold evidence
\nHow free speech and civil liberties limit intervention — even when something feels wrong
\nWhy monitoring the internet is not as simple as it sounds (and why it’s impossible to catch everything)
\nThe problem of false positives — and why context matters more than keywords
\nOne of the most striking takeaways from this episode:
\n👉 Many organisations don’t even have a basic system for reporting concerns.
\nWhich means:
\nWarning signs may never reach decision-makers
\nEmployees don’t know who to tell
\nAnd even when they do… there’s no clear process for action
\nAs the Integras team explains, prevention isn’t about catching everything —it’s about what you do when something is flagged.
\nYou can’t prevent every act of violence.
\nBut you can build systems that make it harder to miss the signals that matter.
\nBecause when something goes wrong, the real question isn’t just:
\n“Were they on the radar?”
\nIt’s:
\n“What did we do when they were?”
\nIn Part 1, Katherine breaks down:
\nWhat background checks actually reveal
\nWhy investigations are limited by law
\nAnd how risk is assessed before an incident
