VR Training is Preparing Oklahoma Police Officers for Unlimited Situations

“With this new equipment, officers can now train or practice virtually any situation,” stated by Lt. Kyle Hill of the Moore Police Department. Officers can’t always prepare for or train for active-shooter situations or mental health calls, for example, until they’ve worked them in the field. Virtual reality allows them to experience the calls safely.

As reported in Forbes recent article on The 5 Biggest Tech Trends In Policing And Law Enforcement, "In the US, police officers in Oklahoma use a different system called Apex Officer, which helps to train to respond to calls where mental health is an issue. Other systems use 360-degree video walls that surround the trainee, rather than requiring them to wear a headset."

Apex Officer is a Major Improvement for Law Enforcement Training

"Apex Officer is a game-changer for police training technology and is transforming the face of law enforcement," said Chase Dittmer, President of Apex Officer. "Outdated technology is preventing law enforcement agencies across the country from training effectively. The Apex Officer training platform was designed in the field with law enforcement, for law enforcement to save time, money and, most importantly, save the lives of law enforcement officers and the civilians they have sworn to protect."
