Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships
The Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships is a division of the United [States Department of Homeland Security]. Established in 2021 to replace the Office of Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention, CP3 is charged with coordinating with federal, state, and local government agencies, non-profit organizations, and other stakeholders to fund, research, and otherwise facilitate the prevention of terrorism, including administering DHS's TVTP Grant Program.
CP3 saw its staff reduced by approximately three-quarters during the early months of the second [presidency of Donald Trump]; director William Braniff resigned in protest of the cuts. In June 2025, it was reported by ProPublica that Thomas C. Fugate, a 22-year old junior staffer at DHS, was appointed to head CP3.
