With the national focus on improving the quality of use of force training for law enforcement officers, the NWTC Public Safety Training Center saw an opportunity to implement futuristic and innovative law enforcement training simulators in the classroom that will aid the development of Wisconsin's future police officers.

With many law enforcement agencies and academies not having access to high-end training for their trainees and students, it was an impactful decision to provide students in the Criminal Justice Program with the best training tool available. As the future of law enforcement in Wisconsin, NWTC students will have a training platform that was designed in the field with law enforcement for law enforcement, that will help save lives and positively impact Wisconsin communities.

NWTC Public Safety Program recently stated, "We are proud to offer the latest in training practices here on campus for our students, recruits and area public safety partners. This virtual reality system from Apex Officer is absolutely amazing and has countless scenarios where officers can be placed in to work on their decision making skills."
