The National Threat Evaluation and Reporting (NTER) Program Office assists Federal, State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial homeland security partners with integrating a Behavioral Approach to Violence Prevention into their processes for identifying and mitigating homeland security threats of targeted violence [1], regardless of motive.

Through training, partner capacity building, and information sharing, NTER opens the aperture on threat identification and fills a national gap by providing a framework for Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management as a best practice for targeted violence prevention.
