Anti-Terrorism Advisory Council
First Assistant United States Attorney Lynn C. Jordheim has been appointed to serve as the Anti-Terrorism Advisory Council Coordinator for the District of North Dakota. Original members of the Anti-Terrorism Advisory Council (ATAC) were selected and a first meeting was held on September 18, 2001. Since then, several more members have been added, and continue to meet regularly. In keeping with Attorney General John Ashcroft's directive, the primary focus has been to develop a system for sharing information relevant to the fight against terrorism within the North Dakota law enforcement community.
Terry Van Horn has been appointed as the ATAC Chief Information Officer. He currently serves as the District Intelligence Specialist. His function is to serve as a conduit between the ATAC and all levels of law enforcement agencies, federal, state, and local. The Task Force is currently working with the local Regional Information Sharing Systems (RISS) product, MOCIC (Mid-States Organized Crime Information Center), to complete a secure email system for members of the ATAC. This system will be part of the RISS.net network so all law enforcement agencies in the District can communicate in a secure manner.
