Why police departments in Idaho are turning to virtual reality for training

Police departments in Idaho were faced with a serious problem. How do you train your officers to de-escalate situations and keep the community safe? You might think that you can use a video to show the officers but not all stressful situations are easily captured on video. That's why the Lewiston Police Department decided to use virtual reality technology to train their officers and keep the community safe.
