PTSS creates and empowers a global network of counterterror (CT) professionals in the fight against transnational terrorism and violent extremist organizations (VEO). Participants examine terrorist actions and capabilities while discussing and sharing best practices for comprehensive whole-of-government and whole-of-society solutions. Participants work closely to generate common understanding while building professional networks and forming practitioner focused intellectual interoperability that crosses national borders. Ultimately, the program empowers counterterrorism security officials to cooperate and coordinate regionally and globally while balancing security with rule of law, international norms, and democratic political and societal values.
