TEEX has recently partnered with Dr. Randy Atlas, America’s only architect and criminologist, to deliver a new course, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED). CPTED teaches participants to assess the safety of built environments in order to reduce accidents and opportunistic crime. Dr. Atlas is a Fellow at the American Institute of Architecture (FAIA), a Certified Protection Professional (CPP), and a Certified CPTED trainer and practitioner with the International CPTED Association. He recently sat down with us to talk about CPTED and his partnership with TEEX.

The CTISP is a partnership between Blinn College and TEEX’s Texas Forensic Science Academy that provides college students with 272 hours of training in forensic photography, crime scene investigation, latent fingerprint processing, DNA evidence collection and more. In just one semester, students earn 18 hours of college credit and a Forensic Investigation & Evidence Management Professional certificate that allows them to work as crime scene investigators.
