Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT)

Our campus has established the Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT).  The BIT is a multidisciplinary, rapid response team for evaluating incidents of potential or actual violence within the UCSC community. The specific functions of the BIT are to: (1) collect information on the incident, (2) assess the potential for escalation to violence, and (3) advise individuals and university offices on providing a coordinated campus response.

The Team is made up of the Associate Vice Chancellor of Risk and Safety Services, the Chief of Police, the Director of Counseling and Psychological Services, and the Director of Risk Services.

Report concerns to the Behavioral Intervention Team at bit@ucsc.edu or you can contact the Coordinator of the Behavioral Intervention Team directly via email at jzaccari@ucsc.edu or by phone at 831-239-6753.
