How to Market Your Course:

Because MCTFT is a grant funded organization, we make every effort possible to stretch our training dollars to reach as many students as we possibly can. It is our hope that all courses provided to hosts will be filled to capacity, according to the specific guidelines of individual courses. If at any time, hosts foresee low student numbers, please contact the MCTFT Coordinator to cancel or reschedule the course.

The information below is designed to assist hosts in successfully achieving high attendance for the course(s) hosted.

• Start by sending an email to all officers within your agency.
• List the course on your webpage (if available) with a link to the MCTFT website.
• Please contact the parties listed below via phone, teletype, and flyers to make them aware of the training being offered at your agency.
• Contact the area High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area agencies, or other such groups: Fraternal Order of Police, Police Benevolence Association, Police Chiefs Associations, Sheriff’s Associations, Narcotics Officers Associations, Regional Community Policing Institutes, Regional Information Sharing Systems projects, etc.
