• PIT maneuver (where applicable)

Virtual Reality EVOC Driving Simulator

Apex Officer EVOC driving simulators can be customized to fit any training exercise that fire departments, EMT, and other first responder agencies might require. We offer complete virtual reality solutions, rather than just a simple one-size-fits all driving program, “app” or device. Apex Officer's EVOC driving simulators provide a higher level of fidelity than current training simulators and this allows for our emergency vehicle driving simulators to translate from the training facility to the road.
