Vice President Kamala Harris announced the establishment of a new national office, funded by the justice department, to support states in implementing "red flag" laws aimed at preventing gun violence. The office, called the Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center (Erpo), will provide training and technical assistance to help optimize the use of red flag laws. Harris made the announcement during a visit to Parkland, Florida, where she met with victims' families and toured the site of the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas massacre. The initiative follows President Joe Biden's establishment of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention and aims to encourage more states to enact red flag laws and utilize available funding for crisis-intervention initiatives.
