GTI READY ROOM Testimonials from GTI students... “I just wanted to pass on that the class, instructors, material, etc. was excellent! I could ramble on for quite a while on the highpoints: Jason Pietrzack is and exceptional LE instructor, and speaks with conviction, knowledge, and common sense, you would expect from a LE officer with twice his years of experience in the LE. It is apparent that while he was sworn, he was indeed an operator (working officer) with his past Dept’s. I also wish to commend GTI as to the content of the materials compiled for presentation, as it was a difficult task requested. The combination of several disciplines to ‘fit our needs in Salmon’ due to the nature of the Narcotics grant was a difficult request I am sure. GTI performed with distinction!” ~ Chief J.D. Spain “I wanted to thank you again for coming down and training our RRF. You and your group of instructors are the best thing that ever happened to our unit that I’ve seen. I can honestly say, and I’ve told many people this ever since the class, that GTI is the most professional group of guys that I’ve learned from military or civilian. I cant express my gratitude to you folks for sharing the training and experiences with us because we needed the real deal to put us in perspective, and many of my co-workers enjoyed the training.” ~ Charles Among Jr. "Allowed class to actually do/try scenarios. Basic talking and then moved to actually using, very good system." ~ K. Montoya "Instructor knowledge was impressive!" ~ Mike Armstrong "I really don’t have much to say except that the instructors are great. They have a lot of knowledge and experience that were shared to the students to give them a good understanding about the course and what to expect in the future." ~ Regino Celis JR. "All 4 instructors gave very well thought out presentations, very informative. Class instruction in tactical movement combined w/ PPE’s, a very big eye opener. Excellent class.

GREAT WORK!!" ~ Brandon Horton "Take this training back to my team. Recommend ALL team members attend this training Excellent course, excellent instructors, Jessup is a wealth of knowledge and a true asset to law enforcement. The training was tremendous. The applications learned here definitely could be applied to present day law enforcement." ~ Dennis O'Conner "Hopefully when I get back to my department we will change our method of entries and training to mirror what we’ve done in the past 15 days. This was not a course where you just had to show up. It was a huge accomplishment to complete this class. All of the instructors were extremely knowledgeable and interesting. This class by far was the most informative and fun class I have attended. I learned more tactics and fundamentals over the last 15 days that will make me safer on our team and on the road.THANK YOU!" ~ Andrew Hudak "Instructors had superior knowledge of the material." ~ GTI Student "Instructors had great communication skills." ~ GTI Student "Instructors demonstrated all tactics clearly." ~ GTI Student "Instructors paid careful attention to safety, details and student progress." ~ GTI Student "It’s tough to improve on near perfection." ~ GTI Student "It was a great course.

I will highly recommend GTI. Live fire was an awesome learning experience." ~ GTI Student
