How USU Police Academy uses Apex Officer for training

Apex Officer's VR training simulator allows students to learn by doing. In the past many law enforcement agencies have used virtual reality (VR) technology to train their employees, but it's been limited to simulating a physical environment in a video game. Now, Utah State University Police Academy has taken advantage of Apex Officer's de-escalation simulator and given it to new students. This is a good example of how virtual reality can be used more broadly in law enforcement.
