Antiterrorism Executive Forums

The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Diplomatic Security, Office of Antiterrorism Assistance (ATA) has requested that the University of Maryland’s Public Safety Training and Technical Assistance Program (PSTTAP) provide a series of antiterrorism seminars that would expand and upgrade its antiterrorism training. Each seminar will provide training in crisis management, planning, information and intelligence management or other subjects as agreed upon. The ATA Antiterrorism Executive Forum is designed to engage select personnel from each participating nation in an exchange on issues related to the ability of law enforcement, judicial, prosecution, legislative, and other related criminal justice components to prevent and respond to terrorist incidents.
