Texas Police Departments Utilize Virtual Reality Training Simulators

In an effort to improve the quality of policing, law enforcement agencies in Texas are beginning to utilize virtual reality training simulators. The simulators allow officers to practice various scenarios that may arise while on the job, and can also be used to teach new techniques. In addition, the simulators allow officers to work together in a safe environment, which can help to improve cooperation and communication.

‍

Not too long ago, the only people that had the privilege of experiencing virtual reality training were those who were in the military. Now, these training platforms can be found in police departments across the country. Law enforcement agencies in the state of Texas are beginning to utilize virtual reality training simulators to prepare their officers for the job.

Thanks to a generous donation by the 100 Club, Missouri City Police Department is able to use their Apex Officer VR training simulator to provide additional training to their new hires. According to a recent post by the Missouri City Police Department, "our new hires are taking full advantage of this new system of training.  The Apex Officer is more than a typical law enforcement training simulator.  It provides turnkey virtual reality force options training simulators and VR technology training solutions."

The Victoria 100 club made a generous donation to the Victoria Police Department allowing them to purchase the Apex Officer virtual reality training simulator. In a recent interview with Crossroads Today, Victoria 100 club board member, Cally Fromme says it’s incredible to see officers use this tech training technology because they are learning how to quickly react to unique situations.

“Some of the board members went through the simulation ourselves and it’s incredible to go through the training,” she said. “Just seeing how quick officers must react to different scenarios. Those scenarios can change just second by second.”
