A Word from GTI's President
GTI is quickly gaining widespread recognition among all disciplines of homeland security, and our collaboration efforts with other law enforcement and military agencies is multiplying. As we continue to address the readiness needs of this nation, the tempo at which GTI delivers training to first responders (at our facility in South Carolina and throughout the U.S. in a MTT format) is picking up pace.
From coast to coast, the need for DHS funded curriculum is evidenced by the number of students enrolled in GTI programs. The increase in number of homeland security discipline professionals attending GTI courses is a quest for excellence in counterterrorism techniques among our nation's finest. I'm pleased to be part of an elite organization that facilitates it, and I hope you'll join us.
Happy New Year & Best Wishes in 2009!
Chadd Harbaugh, GTI President
