The EAGLES Act of 2025 reauthorizes and expands the National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC), operated by the United States Secret Service within the Department of Homeland Security. This legislation formally establishes NTAC's functions in federal law, emphasizing its role in preventing targeted violence through research, training, and consultation. The bill highlights that targeted violence is preventable and that attackers often exhibit concerning behaviors, making early intervention and comprehensive threat assessment models crucial. A significant provision of the Act is the establishment of a national Safe School Initiative focused on preventing targeted school violence. This initiative mandates NTAC to conduct research into school violence, publish findings, and develop and offer training courses to various entities, including local educational agencies. NTAC is also required to coordinate with federal agencies like the Departments of Justice, Education, and Health and Human Services, and to consult with state and local officials. To support these expanded functions, the bill authorizes the hiring of additional personnel, including experts in child psychological development and school threat assessment. It also authorizes appropriations of $10,000,000 annually for fiscal years 2026 through 2030 to carry out its provisions. The Act requires a report to Congress within two years detailing implementation, training effectiveness, and a strategic plan for disseminating resources, with a sunset clause for the section on September 30, 2030.
