The NC RTTAC works in to encourage the legal sharing of information to assist local, state and federal agencies with the mission of protecting the citizens of California from the dangers of terrorist related crimes.
Why NC RTTAC is needed?
With the cooperation of the law enforcement community, the NC RTTAC can provide a comprehensive intelligence product offering officers a regional picture of trends and patterns of reported incidents of suspicious activities of potential terrorist operations within their respective jurisdictions. The NC RTTAC also serves as a counter terrorism training resource to the law enforcement community, as well as an FBI, DHS and OHS point of contact for all agencies within the RTTAC's fifteen county area of responsibility.

Why become a partner?
Intelligence is a vital key to the "War on Terrorism" and combating threats to public safety. Becoming a partner in the NC RTTAC program has several benefits:
- It ensures that potential threat-related information is shared with our public safety and private sector partners.

Public safety and private sector partners also benefit by receiving valuable counter terrorism training provided by NC RTTAC, FBI, US Attorney's Office, DHS, United States Coast Guard, TEWG, CA DOJ, and State and Local Anti-Terrorism Training (SLATT).
