Where is the members-only section?

There is no members-only section. Instead, material for members only appears in several places on the site. Non-members can usually view a brief summary or introduction. Members can login to view the entire material.

How do I login to this site?

You will only be asked to login if you attempt to view member-only material.

At that time, you will see a Member Login Required page, where you can enter your username and password.

How do I get a username and password?

We assign a username and password to our main contact person at the jurisdiction or organization that joins PTI. We can assign login privileges to additional eligible personnel upon request.

If you are employed by a PTI member, but do not have your username and password, please contact the .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

My username and password don’t work with the discussion archives (mailing lists).

These require separate usernames and passwords. See this link.

This is the symbol for newsfeeds, often called syndicated content or RSS (Really Simple Syndication)—timely headlines published by a website in the XML language.

To read newsfeeds, you need a newsreader—also called a feedreader or aggregator.

It collects feeds from the sites you have subscribed to and displays the news they contain.

Subscribe to the PTI Newsfeed (This is an RSS 2.0 link for use in your newsreader.)

For Windows, try the FeedDemon feedreader. On Mac, try NetNewsWire. On Linux, we use Liferea. Google Reader is a free online feedreader.

Learn more at the official U.S. RSS page.

After login, you’ll be presented with a web interface for viewing the list archives (pictured at left).
