This approach left officers inadequately prepared for the dynamic challenges they would encounter in the field. To address these shortcomings, Washington police departments and law enforcement agencies sought a solution that would:

1. Offer realistic and immersive training experiences
2. Reduce training time and associated costs
3. Ensure officer safety and minimize liability risks

Conclusion

Police and law enforcement training has been a topic of debate for the past few years. The public faces a dilemma – is VR training better than physical training?

The short answer is yes. Either way, it can be beneficial to train officers in a fast and effective manner, while they are on-duty. However, it's not as simple as simply equipping them with VR goggles and headsets that show them virtual world scenarios. Officers must also be trained with the proper handling of situations and situations that occur in real life.
