A new year is upon us and I look forward to working again with agencies and friends that I have met along the way. I also look forward to new clients and new opportunities for GTI this year as well. When preparing this year’s budget, I urge you not to forget the importance of training. If there are any training needs that I can help facilitate, please do not hesitate to contact me for a proposal. Our training is delivered at our facility in Barnwell, SC or we can deliver it to you in a mobile training team format to your jurisdiction.

Training is all-encompassing and should be related to everything a unit does, or can have happen to it.

Former UN ambassador says nuclear threat is now a ‘clear and present danger’ as Iran warns Saudi Arabia not to help the West

16th January 2012 By Daily Mail Reporter

Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton has warned a report that Iran is a year away from being able to build a nuclear bomb may be too optimistic.

In a radio interview today, he said: ‘I worry the publicly available information is giving only a very small picture and that Iran is actually even much further along.’

In an effort to prepare our troops for future threats from Iran, the Joint operations Center (JOC) is the perfect training option. The JOC offers real world training at a real world site. The JOC is a former nuclear plant that has been converted into an all hazards, tactical training facility.

For more information on the JOC please visit GTI’s website www.gtitraining.org or contact Jason Kemper via Email

Tex Shield – Saratoga Hammer Suits®


Tex Shield – Saratoga Hammer Suits

Did you know that GTI is a dealer for Tex Shield’s Saratoga Hammer Suits? As far as I am concerned, the Hammer Suit is one of the best chemical and biological warfare agent protective suits in the business.

Since its introduction in 1998, the HAMMER Suit® has been widely accepted by law enforcement, fire, and emergency response organizations to meet their needs for protection from chemical and biological warfare agents.

The HAMMER Suit® meets or exceeds the level of protection against chemical warfare agents specified in U.S. MIL-C-29462. Product testing with live chemical warfare agents at world-renowned independent test facilities validates the reliability of the SARATOGA® fabric.

If you are in need of PPE Suits for your agency, feel free to contact me for a price quote.
