The Technical Search Specialist course is 40 hours, five days in length, eight hours of instruction each day, and is designed to provide the participants with the knowledge, skills and abilities to perform technical searches of CBRNE and/or structural collapse incident scenes. A heavy focus is placed on listening devices, search cameras and GPS- enabled location techniques.
TEEX makes every effort to ensure consistent terminology and training within the discipline of urban search and rescue, so this course mirrors the FEMA US&R curriculum but does not provide FEMA certification.
Jurisdictions that receive Department of Homeland Security funding from their SAA (e.g. UASI, SHSP, ect.) may be able to utilize those funds to pay for TEEX US&R courses. Since states have varying processes and procedures for utilizing grant funds to take US&R training, the best resource will be your city or county administrator or comptroller of homeland security grant funding
