U.S. Secret Service National Threat Assessment Center

The U.S. Secret Service National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC) is a specialized unit that studies and analyzes threats of violence, especially toward public figures like politicians and officials. It gathers data, conducts research, and develops methods to identify warning signs and prevent targeted attacks. NTAC’s work helps law enforcement and communities understand the factors leading to violence, aiming to intervene early and enhance security. Their goal is to reduce the risk of violence through evidence-based practices while respecting individual rights and privacy.
