Anti-Terrorism Advisory Council
The Anti-Terrorism Task Force (ATTF) of the Eastern District of Missouri was formed within 48 hours of the tragic events of September 11, 2001. In mid-2003, the name was changed to the Anti-Terrorism Advisory Council (ATAC). The ATAC is a multi-agency, federal, state and local law enforcement initiative. It exists to ensure progress, responsiveness and success in the District's mission to prosecute, disrupt and prevent terrorism. Acting through function-specific committees, the ATAC helps to deter, disrupt, investigate and, if necessary, prosecute perpetrators and planners of domestic and foreign-based terrorism. Intelligence sharing, training, policy review and problem solving are just some of the ATAC's lifeblood. Recently, with ATAC encouragement, a Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) was planned, staffed and became operational. The ATAC regularly provides input and evaluations to Washington policy makers and works to supplement other area groups that combat terrorism. Recognizing that terrorists may employ long-term, secretive and sophisticated planning, the ATAC program is structured to maximize national success in this effort beyond individual investigations and cases. Bringing expertise from many different disciplines together in a coordinated effort, the ATAC will remain among our highest priorities.
