A program helping local police identify threats would move offices and get new funding.
This bill would move the National Threat Evaluation and Reporting (NTER) Program, which helps state and local law enforcement identify violence threats, to a new office within the Department of Homeland Security. This change would also shift how the program is paid for, moving it away from intelligence funds to other government sources. The goal is to better align the program with its mission of supporting local partners.
Today, the National Threat Evaluation and Reporting (NTER) Program is managed by the Department of Homeland Security's intelligence office and funded through intelligence budgets. If this bill becomes law, the NTER Program would move to the Department's office that works directly with state and local law enforcement, and its funding would come from other, non-intelligence government sources. This transfer would happen within 180 days of the bill becoming law, and the new funding rules would start once the transfer is complete.
