Effective training is essential for first responder's success, health, and safety. Charteris Foundation was founded in 1992 as a 501(c)(3) organization. Ten years later, Charteris Training Institute (CTI) was added to facilitate our ability to offer training in a number of areas.
Dr. Charles Litman and Dr. Tim Klerekoper not only have education and training in each area, they also have extensive experience working as and alongside law enforcement officers and first responders. Each has the unique qualities, experience, and education to make each training class uniquely valuable and applicable.
The mission of CTI and its instructors has always been to assist first responders mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Their goal is to equip officers and first responders to effectively deal with stress, PTSD, grief and loss, and crisis intervention techniques that prepare them to deal effectively with what they face on the street every day and do so with a holistic approach. We believe that preparing them for what they encounter is not only essential for their overall wellbeing, it is also vital for officer safety.
CTI can provide your agency with state-of-the-art instruction that maximizes your officers ability to work more effectively. Over the years, we've made a positive transformational difference in the personnel who have taken our courses. Please call for more information.
We look forward to working with you!
