This legislation, titled the EAGLES Act of 2025, reauthorizes and significantly expands the functions of the National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC) of the United States Secret Service, operating under the Department of Homeland Security. The bill establishes NTAC's role in preventing targeted violence through evidence-based behavioral threat assessment, building on its established model. It emphasizes that such violence is preventable and highlights the increased demand for NTAC's expertise in communities nationwide. The expanded functions of the Center include providing training and education on best practices for threat assessment, offering consultation on complex cases, and conducting research on targeted violence prevention. A key provision is the establishment of a Safe School Initiative , which mandates NTAC to conduct research into targeted school violence, publish findings, and develop training courses for educational agencies. The Center is also directed to coordinate with other federal agencies like the Departments of Justice, Education, and Health and Human Services, and to consult with state and local officials. To support these efforts, the bill authorizes the Director of the Secret Service to hire additional personnel, including experts in child psychological development and school threat assessment . It authorizes an appropriation of $10,000,000 annually for fiscal years 2026 through 2030 to carry out these provisions. The legislation also requires a report to Congress on implementation and effectiveness, while explicitly prohibiting the use of funds for firearms training.
