The National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism (Dutch Nationaal Coördinator Terrorismebestrijding en Veiligheid ), abbreviated as NCTV , is the principal Dutch counter-terrorism unit. It was established in January 2005 as the Nationaal Coördinator Terrorismebestrijding (NCTb ); the unit was enlarged and renamed in October 2012.[1]
The NCTV is under the responsibility of the Minister of Justice and Security , Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius , who in 2022 succeeded Ferdinand Grapperhaus .[2] In charge of the safety of civil aviation and cybersecurity , it also analyses terrorism threats to determine the threat level (minimal, limited, substantial or critical) in the Netherlands . It therefore works closely with the General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD) and Military Intelligence and Security Service (MIVD).[3] [4]
