National Threat Evaluation and Reporting Office
As the threat landscape continues to evolve, the National Threat Evaluation and Reporting (NTER) Office empowers our homeland security partners to adapt to new threats and prevent terrorism and targeted violence [1].
NTER equips homeland security partners with tools and resources to identify, report, and mitigate threats of terrorism and targeted violence to keep the Homeland safe primarily through two lines of effort: the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative and Behavioral Threat Assessment Integration.
[1] The definition of targeted violence, according to the US Department of Homeland Security, Office of Intelligence and Analysis: Any premeditated act of violence directed at a specific individual, group, or location, regardless of motivation, that violates the criminal laws of the United States or of any State or subdivision of the United States.
