GTIP is a program which promotes partnership, collaboration and information sharing. The training had representation from 18 state and local law enforcement agencies and featured presentations and panel discussions concerning the domestic extremist threat.

“The program has been very successful throughout the years and continues to prove its worth in intelligence analyst training and collaboration for Georgia law enforcement in connecting the dots and solving crime,” says GBI Director Vic Reynolds. “In today’s current threat environment, inclusion of additional sheriff’s offices and police departments around the state has started as more and more law enforcement agencies prepare for emerging crime trends and threats.”

“The Georgia Terrorism Intelligence Project (GTIP) training is essential to ensure that members of the Atlanta Police Department (APD) are well informed and prepared to proactively handle a variety of situations and threats as they arise,” said APD Chief Rodney Bryant. “We embrace opportunities to collaborate with our fellow law enforcement agencies, as it allows us to learn best practices and strategies that will positively contribute to our crime fighting efforts.”

Retired GBI Inspector Don Robertson developed the GTIP program in 2005. Retired GBI Deputy Director Scott Dutton was recently appointed as the new GTIP Coordinator.

GTIP currently has a membership of 25+ law enforcement agencies.
