1. 1) If the report originates with the victim, the victim's consent must be obtained before reporting to authorities or confronting the participant with the information.

2. 2) If the threat is made about someone other than the victim or children, the PAIP:
A) shall inform the appropriate law enforcement agency; and
1. B) must assess whether there is potential risk to the victim and/or children and notify the victim if safety is compromised.
d) PAIPs must notify the appropriate authorities if there is knowledge of or disclosure of victim contact when there is an order of protection in place.
