Fire and Emergency Services
TEEX provides training in industrial and municipal firefighting, community preparedness and emergency response, urban search and rescue, hazardous materials, oil spill response and EMS.
Infrastructure and Safety
Infrastructure must be able to support the exponential growth of US cities. TEEX trains personnel in transportation and highway safety, environmental health and safety and utilities such as water, electricity and gas and supports municipalities who need assistance in these areas.
Law Enforcement and Protective Services
TEEX trains law enforcement personnel in corrections, forensics and investigations, explosives and ordnance, motorcycle operations, sports and special events management and school safety.
Business and Cyber Solutions
Cyber threats continue to increase, and our services are tailored to help any municipality or organization build and improve cyber resiliency. TEEX has also developed a Cyber Training and Exercise Range to simulate cyberattacks for training purposes.
National Emergency Response and Recovery Training Center (NERRTC)
NERRTC, a founding member of the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium and funded by DHS/FEMA, provides local, state, tribal and territorial jurisdictions with scenario driven leadership training, exercises and technical assistance. Since 1998, NERRTC has provided training to more than one million responders in all U.S. states and territories.

Both of these response teams are supported by TEEX.
