National Terrorism Preparedness Institute (NTPI) ) opened in May 1998 as a result of the Nunn-Lugar-Domenici Act, commonly known as the Weapons of Mass Destruction Act.  Significantly, NTPI is one of the few pre-9/11 institutions of its kind.

NTPI provides extensive support to our Nation’s War on Terror.  This support includes monthly nationwide, satellite television broadcasts on important training topics for emergency managers and responders; traditional classroom instruction; training support packages that include student and instructor guides, video, CD, DVD, and VHS products; mobile training teams; and web- and computer-based training products.

NTPI uses the latest in instructional technology to increase its impact and cost effectiveness; new equipment has increased capabilities for training at a distance. Combining its technology and facilities, NTPI is an active participant in the Department of Homeland Security Office of Grants and Training Blended Learning Initiative. This initiative is designed to increase the training reach and effectiveness of the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC).

Headquartered in the Allstate Center, NTPI also has the ability to call upon the established resources of the Southeastern Public Safety Institute (SEPSI) programs:  Multi-jurisdictional Counter Drug Task Force Training (MCTFT), SEPSI In-service, Fire Science Technology, Florida Regional Community Policing Institute, Emergency Administration and Management, and Criminal Justice.

The majority of NTPI projects are developed in partnership with federal agencies, and NTPI uses local, state, federal, and tribal subject matter experts extensively in focus groups, symposiums, training development, and instruction.
