The Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) offers the Advanced Collision Reconstructionist (ACR) Program to law enforcement and private collision investigation professionals. Participants who complete the four course program are eligible to receive an Advanced Collision Reconstructionist Certificate. Completion of the four courses also adequately prepares the certificate recipient for the Accreditation Commission for Traffic Accident Reconstruction (ACTAR) exam.
Firearms Range: The TEEX Firearms Range is a 20-station range equipped with computer-controlled turning targets. It includes dual horizontal moving targets with shooting positions out to 75 yards. The range includes an environmentally friendly bullet trap that captures all fired rounds. The bullet trap is rated to handle all common police firearms up to and including 50 BMG rifles.
Simulation Prop Houses: The TEEX Simulation Prop Houses include four duplex homes, each representing a small two-bedroom home adapted for tactical training and simulations. Each house has one or more tactical breach doors that allow students to train for all types of forced-entry situations using a multi-purpose steel frame and door system that is easily adjustable and infinitely reusable. The interiors are hardened to allow for practical simulations, including high-risk entries, distraction devices and defensive tactics simulations.
Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) Ranges and Search Grids: TEEX offers one of the only commercially available Unexploded Ordnance Technician (UXO) I course recognized by the U.S. Department of Defense. Students train on TEEX’s UXO ranges and search grids to identify and locate subsurface and surface UXO using military and civilian magnetometers, perform UXO excavation procedures, transport UXO and demolition materials, prepare firing systems for destruction operations, and more.
Emergency Vehicle Driving Track: TEEX has a long history of delivering training in emergency vehicle driving and provides one of the most dynamic and fluid courses available. The TEEX emergency vehicle driving track – with its 11 training stations – helps students to safely respond to incidents by giving them hands-on practice that builds confidence in their equipment and individual performance in emergency driving.
Live-fire Shoot House: The TEEX live-fire shoothouse, is an all-weather indoor training facility. The rifle-rated shoothouse provides a 360 degree ballistically safe environment designed for learning, teaching and evaluating close-quarter skills like room clearing and team tactics. The facility is equipped with cameras and recording equipment for after-action critiquing and video documentation of training.
