Countering Threats and Attacks on Our Judges Act

• Section 3 allows for the provision of financial and technical support to establish a center that provides judicial officer safety education and training for judicial officers, courts, and local law enforcement. This could be considered positive because it helps train people on judicial security.

• Section 3 allows the center to provide physical security assessments for courts, homes, and other facilities where judicial officers and staff conduct court-related business. This might be considered positive as it helps secure the physical locations where these workers operate.

• Section 3 states the center will proactively monitor threats to the safety of State and local judges and court staff, and coordinate with Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies to mitigate those threats. This could be positive because it directly addresses safety risks through law enforcement coordination.

• Section 3 allows the center to develop a national database for reporting, tracking, and sharing information about threats and incidents towards judicial officers and court staff. This is a positive step for keeping records and sharing threat information with entities working in the interest of judicial security.

• Section 4 requires the State Justice Institute to submit an annual report on the number of threats to State and local judiciary members and court staff to the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate and the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives. This holds officials accountable by ensuring Congress receives regular updates on these security threats.
