The Government Training Institute (GTI) was founded in 2003 to address needs of state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the United States with research based training. GTI's multiple courses contain a cooperative curriculum base and ongoing research from a staff with extensive operational military and law enforcement experience.

GTI delivers sound, tested, operational experience, and course development that makes up realistic, modern, and effective training classes. Click the links below to check out some of the classes we have coming up:

Matthew comes on board as a Law Enforcement Training Coordinator and Asset Trading Program Representative.

Thank you and I am excited to be joining GTI, their training is top notch and the Asset Trading Program (ATP) is a tool that is proving to be very useful to all types of agencies.

The Asset Trading Program can assist agencies in funding their training with GTI or any other organization or to help replace the old equipment or secure new assets and equipment to add capabilities to the department.

If you would like to find out more about the Asset Trading Program please visit our webpage at Asset Trading Program or shoot me an email matthew@gtitraining.org and I would be happy to provide the details.

I would also like to bring attention to an upcoming course being hosted at our Joint Operations Center in Barnwell SC, that are open to Law Enforcement Officers, First Responding Elements and Military personnel.

A course that we just added to the calendar for December 9th-13th is the Tactical Response to Terrorism. The tuition for the 5 day course is $1000, meals and lodging are not included but can be added on to the proposal.

The Tactical Response to Terrorism is a course designed for the front-line officer, however small Special Team Units have given this course high evaluations. In light of a POST 9/11 world, skill sets for U.S. Law Enforcement requirements have changed. This Immediate Action, Counter Assault course takes the student through real life application and familiarization of the possible response. This course gives the students knowledge in Current Terrorist Threats to America, Terrorist Modus Operandi, Operational Planning of Terrorist Groups, Pre-Incident Indicators and Prevention of Terrorist Attacks, and Suicide Bombers. Once students learn about the threats that they face, they will acquire skills that will assist them in quickly forming a plan and initiating a reaction to the threats by focusing on individual and team skills that will be required for a tactical response to a terrorist event. For more information visit our website at Tactical Response to Terrorism or send me an email and I would be happy to provide more details or write up a proposal and send a registration form.

Thank you to all of the officers, operators and other first responding elements that are battling each day to keep all of America safe. We at GTI look forward to continuing to provide tools and training to assist you in doing your jobs.
