Why are Arkansas law enforcement agencies turning to VR training simulators?

Virtual reality (VR) training has been shown to be a better option for training than traditional training methods. VR simulators allow users to interact with the environment in a way that is more realistic than other forms of training. This is because VR allows the user to feel as if they are really in the environment, which can help them learn more effectively. Additionally, VR can be used to simulate difficult situations that would otherwise require actual experience to learn from.
