Sheriff's Offices Across the Country Implement VR Training

In an effort to revolutionize the way sheriff's deputies and law enforcement professionals are trained, Sheriff's Offices across the country are now implementing VR training into their training programs.

In the past, law enforcement officers were required to learn how to shoot, disarm, and handle a variety of different weapons in a classroom setting. Now, Sheriff's Offices are looking to Apex Officer to improve the quality of training by using virtual reality.

Virtual Reality (VR) is an emerging technology that can be applied to multiple industries, from healthcare to education. Recently, it has been applied to law enforcement for use in officer training. Sheriff departments across the country are turning to VR simulations to train officers, due to the risks associated with live fire training.
