"National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center Launched by Justice Department"

The Justice Department has launched the National Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) Resource Center to provide training and technical assistance to various professionals responsible for implementing laws aimed at preventing individuals who pose a threat from accessing firearms. This initiative, established under the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, aims to support states and localities in implementing effective crisis intervention strategies to reduce gun violence and save lives. The Center will offer resources and guidance to help jurisdictions tailor ERPO programs to fit local needs and ensure that funding received is effectively utilized.
