Countering Threats and Attacks on Our Judges Act
Protecting Judges: New Security and Threat Monitoring Center
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- This bill creates a national center to help protect state and local judges. It pays for an expert group to track threats and teach court workers how to stay safe.
- The center will offer safety training for judges and local police. It will also send experts to check courthouses and judges' homes for safety risks, making sure they have the right security measures in place.
- A new national database will be created to track threats and attacks against court staff. This helps different police departments share information quickly so they can stop dangerous people before they hurt someone.
- Every year, the government will report to Congress on the number of threats made against judges. This report will show which types of threats are most common and how serious they are to help lawmakers decide if more protection is needed.
