2026
Jameson Ritter, M.A., CTM, CPP, PSP, PCI, is Director of Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management at the Center for Personal Protection and Safety (CPPS). In this role, he supports organizations in developing, evaluating, and strengthening workplace violence prevention and behavioral threat assessment and management programs. His work includes consultation on complex and high-risk cases, governance and team development, policy review, training, and the design of practical intervention and risk-management strategies for corporations, government agencies, healthcare systems, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations.
Jameson is a co-author and co-developer of the AI Interaction Risk Structured Professional Judgement framework, or AIR-SPJ. The developing framework is intended to help threat assessment professionals examine how interactions with large language models, generative AI systems, and AI companions may influence pathways toward targeted violence or self-harm. AIR-SPJ is being designed as a supplemental, human-led framework for use alongside established threat assessment methods. Its areas of study include AI dependency, social displacement, anthropomorphic attachment, grievance reinforcement, sycophantic validation, distorted reality testing, operational use of AI, and violence arising from grievances against AI or technology. The project is grounded in emerging research and is being developed through multidisciplinary review, practitioner input, and future empirical study.
Jameson brings 11 years of law-enforcement experience, concluding with a three-year assignment as a Task Force Officer with the FBI Minneapolis Joint Terrorism Task Force. His work included investigations involving ISIS, al-Shabaab, and online/self-directed radicalization. In the private sector, he has led or supported security, workplace violence prevention, and threat management programs across organizations ranging from Fortune 5 to Fortune 150 companies. He has also worked with government agencies, healthcare and educational organizations, and faith-based nonprofits. This cross-sector experience informs his focus on how technology, grievance, isolation, identity, and behavioral change can affect pathways toward violence and self-harm.
He holds a Master’s degree in Homeland Security and a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology of Law, Criminology, and Deviance. His professional certifications include Certified Threat Manager (CTM) through the Association of Threat Assessment Professionals and the CPP, PSP, and PCI credentials through ASIS International. He is also the founder and principal of Threatwise Global LLC and the creator of ADVISOR by Threatwise™, a human-in-the-loop AI platform designed to support behavioral threat assessment and management professionals.
The catalytic power of this Summit in bringing together those who are devoting their lives to pushing back and working to confront, understand and work towards solutions around hate in our society is a noble and difficult task. The Summit not only energized those who attended but led to connecting the dots in a global network of those doing this work. The stories of the victims of hate were painful to witness but their courage in coming forward was inspirational. Those who attended left energized with the hope that by working together solutions can be forged.
