Schools

When crisis occurs, what can a school do? The National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC), working in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Education, initiated a data-based research project to examine the incidents of school-based attacks. The purpose of the Safe School Initiative is to provide accurate and useful information to school administrators, educators, law-enforcement professionals and others who have protective and safety responsibilities in schools, to help prevent incidents of school-based targeted violence.
