Over the last ten years, training has emerged as a top priority for law enforcement and corrections officers. At the CTS Training Institute (CTSTI), we approach training with utmost seriousness, emphasizing the importance of preparedness in anticipation of worst-case scenarios. CTSTI is committed to being “A Force for Order,” integrating cutting-edge tools with comprehensive knowledge and techniques. Our courses are designed to equip individual officers for real-life situations while addressing agency policies and procedures for managing risks.

CTSTI provides a wide range of training programs, each of which is directly relevant to CTS products. For instance, the Less-Lethal Instructor Training Course spans three days and aims to certify officers as Less-Lethal Instructors. This program combines hands-on experience with Less-Lethal products, classroom instruction, and practical application. Upon completion, officers possess the necessary knowledge and skills to return to their respective agencies and certify others in the safe and effective use of each Less-Lethal option. In addition to the Less-Lethal classes offered by CTSTI, PENN ARMS, a leading manufacturer of Less-Lethal Launchers, conducts Armorer Schools for various 37MM and 40MM platforms.
