Interactive Simulator Training
We understand private security professionals face ever changing times and challenges. When it comes to training private security officers, what once was “Use of Force Training” has now become “Response to Resistance Training”. From verbal conflicts to deadly force, the “response” is what officers are judged on by society. Addressing response issues better prepare officers for the best possible outcome. By utilizing industry leading simulation technology, we can ensure the best trainee experience possible. This powerful and effective new training experience takes it to the next level of execellence for our employees, other security or law enforcement personnel, and for private citizens.
Our Training Simulator provides a wide range of force options from TASER™, Baton, OC Spray or commonly used firearms; all are at our disposal. The system also offers low-light simulation that can be used in conjunction with the training scenarios and the weapon systems.
Interactive simulations are developed with an eye toward learning objectives and a high degree of realism. These highly effective educational scenarios challenge the trainee’s decision-making ability and help develop life-saving skills. Visually, these scenarios incorporate realistic gunfire, explosions, and bodily injury. All the extra attention to detail serves one goal - prepare the trainee to be highly effective in life and death situations.
