Westfield Police Department Presented with State Funds to Purchase New Apex Officer Simulator

State Senator John Velis stands with Westfield Mayor Michael McCabe (L) and Westfield Police Chief Lawrence Valliere as they hold a check from the state that will enable the Westfield police department to purchase and install an Apex Officer virtual Reality police training simulator.

“At the end of the day, this funding is about making Westfield an even safer place for our residents and police officers. Smaller departments, like Westfield, typically don’t have access to this level of technology. I am extremely proud to have secured this funding for the Department during the FY’22 budget process,” said Senator Velis.

According to Velis’ office, the simulator will enhance officers’ ability to prepare for real-life situations and provide them with feedback on how they performed. A virtual environment provides officers with the opportunity to learn de-escalation techniques, respond to shooters, conduct building checks, and deal with domestic violence calls.
