IPTM was established in 1980 with a simple yet lasting philosophy: to provide cost-effective, cutting-edge training to the criminal justice community, thus enhancing the quality of service by law enforcement to our communities.
For 40 years, this basic philosophy has guided IPTM as it has grown into the largest and most varied national law enforcement training institute in the country. Currently, IPTM conducts 400+ courses to more than 8,000 law enforcement professionals each year. These professionals include operational, supervisory, and command level officers from throughout the United States, the U.S. territories, and numerous foreign countries. The IPTM instructional team consists of professionals who possess a blend of practical law enforcement skills, years of police training experience, and quality academic credentials. The full-time faculty is supplemented by a cadre of highly qualified adjunct instructors who remain as practitioners within the law enforcement community.
