Police Officers Begin 2023 Training with New VR Simulator

Breezy Point Police Department is implementing an interactive virtual reality training system that provides individualized training and immediate feedback and instruction for officers in decision-making during countless scenarios ranging from traffic stops to life-threatening standoffs.

The Apex Officer system uses virtual reality technology to immerse officers in unpredictable real-life situations that are directly impacted by a participant’s ability to respond to a specific situation properly.

The officer being trained puts on a small backpack computer, and a VR headset. In another room, an instructor sits at a laptop computer and router that generate the scenes. The instructor controls the scene and everything the suspects or victims on-screen do. When the instructor speaks, the person on the screen moves his/her mouth. The instructor can change the facial expressions and movements of the person remotely, based on what occurs during the scenario.

Virtual reality simulator training is the wave of the future as bulky, screen-based training technology is being phased out. Instead of needing half of a large room to display a screen, this virtual simulator training can be set up in a small room, while ‘virtually’ placing the trainee in a multitude of situations, such as being in the middle of a busy street facing a despondent man with mental health issues who is armed with a knife.

Are police officers gonna be trained on how to shoot and act in such action-like situations only?
Or there will also be scenarios where an officer's knowledge of the law will be checked,
There are shit ton of police brutality and other bandits in uniform, Or this thing is about "tactics" only?
