Exciting News for West Jefferson Police Training!
Our officers are set to receive Virtual Reality (VR) training goggles to enhance scenario-based simulation training for our officers. 🥽
Virtual reality training is an innovative tool in modern policing, immersing officers in realistic, interactive simulations that prepare them for real-world challenges in a safe and controlled environment. By using this cutting-edge technology, officers can develop critical decision-making skills, improve de-escalation tactics, and enhance overall readiness. 🌟
Director Thomas Quinlan of the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy (OPOTA) has been instrumental in producing the VR software for agencies statewide. His team’s goal is to roll out new training scenarios each year, ensuring that both police officers and supervisors receive fresh, relevant training. The next series of VR scenarios is already in development and is tentatively set for release in Summer 2025. 🚀 📆 https://lnkd.in/euVfj_q9
We’re excited to bring this advanced training resource to West Jefferson, furthering our commitment to professional development and community safety. Special thanks to IT Director Mark Crosten who is also instrumental in ensuring training hardware is available for our staff. 👮♀️👮♂️ 🚔
