North Platte PD Employs Virtual Reality for Advanced Training

Virtual Reality Training Enhances Police Preparedness

Police officers face dangerous and unpredictable situations on a daily basis, making their training essential for their safety and the safety of others. North Platte police have taken training to the next level by incorporating virtual reality (VR), where officers are fully immersed in simulated hostile situations. This innovative approach is proven to be more effective than traditional classroom training for crisis intervention, de-escalation techniques, and decision-making around the use of force.
