On May 14th, 2022, a domestic terrorist, attacked a Tops Friendly Markets Store in the East Side neighborhood of Buffalo, killing ten and injuring three others. In response to this heinous terrorist act, on May 18th, 2022, Governor Hochul signed Executive Order No. 18 (EO 18) entitled “Preventing and Responding to Domestic Terrorism.” In accordance with EO 18, every New York State (NYS) county and the City of New York (“Jurisdictions”) must develop and maintain a domestic terrorism prevention plan (“Plan”) to identify and confront threats of domestic terrorism. The State expects that the creation of Threat Assessment and Management (TAM) teams will be a critical pillar of Jurisdictions’ Plans.
