“The most valuable death notifications are delivered by trained professionals who utilize best practices, including pre-planning, compassionate notification, and coordinated follow up.”
“We Regret to Inform You…”
The FBI’s Office of Victim Assistance and The Pennsylvania State University have developed a no-cost,
online training program that can be found at www.deathnotification.psu.edu.
The way a death notification is made significantly impacts a family’s grieving process, and can have a ripple
effect on potential prosecutions and recovery.

• Peers and family members are the most likely to hear things or see behaviors that indicate a person is on a trajectory towards violence.
• Don’t dismiss your hunches and concerns
• Don’t say he didn’t mean it or it can’t happen here.
• Trust that law enforcement professionals will investigate and not just arrest people
• Be confident that a timely call to the FBI tip line or local law enforcement about even a small piece of information might help save lives.
