Students enrolled in the Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) Explosives Training Program, operated by the Public Safety & Security division, will now be eligible for college credit and future financial aid through an articulation agreement with Blinn College. Under the agreement, Blinn students seeking a Fire Science degree who complete four TEEX Ordnance Removal & Remediation courses would be eligible for 18 semester hours of college credit toward an Associate of Applied Science degree.

A new $2.2 million multipurpose training facility for the Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) will be named after the legendary Brazos Valley law enforcement officer and former Texas A&M University Chief of Police, Robert “Bob” Wiatt. The facility name, recently approved by the The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents, will be the Robert “Bob” Wiatt Physical Skills Training Complex. The TEEX Public Safety & Security division training facility will be located on the Texas A&M Riverside Campus, with construction scheduled to begin in September.
