SOPs should also establish the frequency of BTAU meetings and by whom the meetings are led.

The BTAU should convene regularly, regardless of whether any assessments are active.

Routine meetings (e.g., weekly or biweekly) ensure team cohesion and provide consistent opportunities for unit members to: • review previous cases, • participate in scenario-based exercises, • receive training on relevant topics, • make process improvement recommendations, • identify resource shortfalls, and • collectively examine trends in targeted violence.

It is also a best practice to review the established SOPs on a routine basis (e.g., quarterly or annually) to account for lessons learned, new techniques, and revised membership roles and responsibilities that may change as the BTAU matures.
