About the Center
The National Community Threat Intelligence Center is an independent nonprofit, non-governmental organization. Its purpose is to protect Americans and serve law enforcement with data and reports on threats against communities of faith and other targeted groups.
Who we are
- Independent NGO. Not a government agency, and not acting under government authority.
- Arizona nonprofit corporation, formed November 6, 2026. Headquartered in Arizona, working in all 50 states.
- Governed by a board of directors. Staff, including the executive director, report to the board.
- Privately funded by donors. The work grew out of earlier private threat reporting for law enforcement.
- Not political. We take no position on policy questions and work the same way in every state.
Three kinds of outside review
The directors are forming three advisory boards. Members will be listed here as they are seated and agree to be named.
Researchers who study online hate and violence review and rate the scoring method, so the work rests on tested science and not only on citing it.
Current and former officers and agents advise on what agencies can use, and how they want to receive it.
Seats for the communities that are targeted, across faiths and backgrounds, so each has a voice in how it is served.
What the Center will not do
- Report anyone for an opinion. See Speech vs. Threats.
- Decide what is a threat or a crime. Police, prosecutors and courts do that.
- Use fake identities to get into private groups.
- Blame threats on any group, or protect some people and not others.
- Work against the interests of the United States.
Our programs: referrals, data and training for law enforcement, reports for community security teams, and The Watchkeeper Project, where communities report what they see.

NCTIC is an independent nonprofit, non-governmental organization. It is not a government agency, does not act under government authority, and does not make or enforce laws.
Opinions are not illegal. Ever. NCTIC does not track or report opinions, beliefs or protected speech. We look for people who express intent to hurt Americans.
We take no position on immigration or other policy questions and do not blame threats on any group. Our anchor is simple: the law says no violence against people, whoever they are.
