National Threat Assessment Center

The National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC) is a part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that studies and analyzes threats of violence, especially in schools and other institutions. Its goal is to understand how violent incidents happen and identify warning signs to prevent them. NTAC provides guidance and best practices to organizations, helping them develop strategies to recognize potential threats early and ensure safety. By researching and sharing insights, NTAC aims to reduce the risk of violence and protect communities through informed prevention efforts.
