Florida Law Enforcement Agencies Excel With VR Training

Virtual reality training simulators are on the rise for police departments and military forces across the country, and some law enforcement agencies in Florida are leading the way. Apex Officer's virtual reality training simulators are allowing agencies to train their officers on everything from terror events to active shooters.

Law enforcement agencies in the state of Florida are beginning to implement immersive virtual reality training simulators in order to help officers learn how to deal with dangerous situations. The simulators allow officers to experience different scenarios, ranging from hostage negotiations to high-speed chases. This type of training has been found to be more effective than traditional training methods, and can save officers' lives.

Deescalation Training in VR for Florida Police Officers

In a recent event hosted by Fort Myers Police Department, ABC News had the opportunity to check out Fort Myers Police Department's state-of-the-art VR training tool built by Apex Officer. They were given the chance to put themselves in uniform and try to de-escalate the situation. Each was given the decision of if and when they should pull the trigger. ABC7’s Gage Goulding got the chance to jump into the simulation as well. “What’s crazy though is the detail,” said Goulding. “The floor, I can see the reflection of the lights in the shooting range on the floor.”
