Secret Service Unveils Plan To Help Stop Mass Killings
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING The Secret Service released a blueprint on Wednesday that it says should help guide local and state law enforcement agencies to establish dedicated units that identify and stop tragedies such as mass shootings, assassination attempts and other targeted acts of violence before they happen. The report from the Secret Service’s National Threat Assessment Center provides a suggested framework for police and law enforcement agencies around the nation to follow regardless of their size, funding or location and is meant to give them similar resources and methods already used by the Secret Service to detect threats. Steven Driscoll, assistant chief of the National Threat Assessment Center, told HuffPost in an email that giving local law enforcement partners “a structured approach” to stopping mass violence means more communities will be safe. Ultimately, the recommendations are a bid to get more agencies on board with the creation of so-called Behavioral Threat Assessment Units that can “proactively identify and intervene” when people threaten violence to individuals, groups or places, such as schools, houses of worship and workplaces, according to the Secret Service.
