This document is part of the Threat to Life Initiative and was developed to outline the TTL reporting process and encourage consistency across law enforcement agencies and private sector company partners.

Abstract

This document provides a standardized policy for completing Threat to Life (TTL) reports that allows the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI’s) National Threat Operations Center (NTOC), law enforcement agencies, and private sector company partners to describe who may be a danger to themselves or others, based on indications of a verbal or visual threat of death or bodily injury, or to damage or compromise a facility, infrastructure, or secured and protected site. This document provides background, definitions of relevant terms, an overview of the TTL reporting process, workflow of TTL reports, and an appendix consisting of a TTL boilerplate language guide.
