SLATT
16.614
The goal of the State and Local Anti-Terrorism Training (SLATT) initiative is to support/address a priority of the DOJ to prevent, disrupt, and defeat terrorist operations before they occur by integrating intelligence and law enforcement efforts to achieve a coordinated response to terrorist threats. SLATT assists state, local, and tribal law enforcement in identifying, investigating, and preventing criminal acts of terror by providing training, technical assistance, and resources – at the national level – that build law enforcement’s knowledge and capacity to identify and respond to possible domestic terrorism. The goal of SLATT is accomplished through achieving the following programmatic objectives: • Increase the knowledge and capacity of local, state, and tribal criminal justice practitioners to detect, investigate, and interdict violent domestic terrorist acts through training. • Increase the ability and capacity of criminal justice practitioners to solve problems and improve policies/practices related to terrorism through short-term and comprehensive technical assistance. • Increase the volume of information provided to BJA and the criminal justice community. Performance Measure 1: Number of participants who successfully completed the training; Performance Measure 2: Percentage of participants trained and subsequently demonstrated performance improvement; Performance Measure 3: Number of curricula developed or updated; and, Performance Measure 4: Number of publications developed and disseminated.

Since implementation of the program, SLATT has trained over 148,000 law enforcement professionals. It has also trained 3,500 law enforcement instructors who have in turn trained approximately 270,000 law enforcement officers. The program has produced various webinars and resources that are housed on a secure website, www.slatt.org. Since 2015, more than 16,600 unique users have taken advantage of resources provided through SLATT.org, and more than 55,000 printed publications have been provided to requesting agencies.
Since implementation of the program, SLATT has trained over 148,000 law enforcement professionals. It has also trained more than 3,500 law enforcement instructors who have in turn trained more than 276,000 law enforcement officers. The program has produced various webinars and resources that are housed on a secure website, www.slatt.org. In July 2018, SLATT delivered a webinar on social media use by foreign-terrorist organizations with more than 170 attendees. Since 2015, more than 16,600 unique users have taken advantage of resources provided through SLATT.org, and more than 55,000 printed publications have been provided to requesting agencies.
Within the last three fiscal years, the program has been competed once, in FY 2018, and received two applications. One application was funded. Activities to be accomplished under the current SLATT award include a significant updating and re-focus of the program towards the actual roles and responsibilities of state and local law enforcement in our country’s larger anti-terrorism effort. Training will be expanded from two course offerings to four, which will allow for more tailored trainings to individual audiences, e.g. line officers, managers, investigators/analysts, and trainers. The program will work closely with federal partners to ensure a consistent message, shared resources, and to eliminate possible duplication of activities.
There has been extensive information gathering on the current state of domestic terrorism as well as the influence that international terrorism is having on domestic security. This entailed a comprehensive literature review as well as a series of information-gathering and collaborative meetings with others who work extensively in the field of counterterrorism. There has been close coordination with federal partners who are also working in the counterterrorism space and, based on all the gathered information and close coordination, SLATT has recently undergone extensive updating and redesign. A new, innovative, and behavior-changing curriculum has been developed that focuses on what each training participant needs to know for the role that they play within anti-terrorism prevention, identification, interdiction, and investigation.
