Albany County Threat Assessment Coordination Team (AC-TACT)

AC-TACT was formed to address the evolving world of targeted violence, mass shootings and killings. The team focuses on keeping both residents and visitors safe from violence through community-based intervention approaches for grievance-fueled violence, online radicalization, and threats by individuals experiencing an emotional or mental health crisis. With support from the Albany County Sheriff's Office and leading County officials, our approach involves multi-disciplined collaborative work with our active partners to identify potential threats and mitigate any possible violence.
