The advanced interactive system puts officers in situations that cause heart rates, blood pressure and pulse to increase. The simulator has a fire-back cannon. If an officer does not take appropriate action, he will get shot with a nylon ball. The ball travels 120 feet per second and when it hits it feels like a bee sting, but officers learn to take cover.
Officers use air-powered guns which simulate the normal reaction and recoil of their duty weapons.
After a scenario is over, trainers play back scenes to review the officer's performance. There are more than 180 regularly-updated scenarios, which reflect virtually every situation an officer may encounter. The simulator comes in a travel trailer and can be moved to different locations across the city. And you put it together by interacting in the scenario.
