VR TRAINING SUPPORTS LAW ENFORCEMENT

VR from a new perspective

VR TRAINING SUPPORTS LAW ENFORCEMENT

Virtual Reality Training is quickly becoming validated as the best choice in employee training. Since the pandemic’s chaos and the defunding of police movements, police officers have been navigating unchartered waters. This daily navigation requires a solid moral compass and continual training. Living near La Mesa, CA, makes it hard to imagine the complexity of preparing for locally intense riots.  

Our mission at toPointC is to provide local law enforcement with a new scaleable training system that can quickly and easily adapt to a changing threat assessment. Our training platform offers a safe, immersive Virtual Reality environment from the real world. Let’s explore the top benefits of Virtual Reality Training for law enforcement.   

1. REPEATABLE TRAINING IN THE REAL WORLD

Virtual Reality Training allows law enforcement to learn in a repeatable Virtual Reality learning environment. toPointC provides immersive experiences that mirror the real world with 360 videos. These training exercises will provide a safe environment for repeatable training with varying degrees of physical and emotional threats. Our brief post will define five benefits of toPointC’s training platform for law enforcement. 

2. PROVIDES A SAFE ENVIRONMENT TO LEARN

toPointC Virtual Reality training platform offers law enforcement the ability to develop safe and repeatable learning environments for physically dangerous training scenarios (1, 2). This immersive may include rugged terrain, dealing with difficult people, or hazardous chemicals. These training scenarios are challenging to replicate in traditional classroom learning. 

3. IMPROVED LEARNING BY DOING 

Our Virtual Reality training platform allows law enforcement to learn by doing. This approach can be an improvement over traditional learning from reading instructions on a pdf, for example.

4. IMPROVES SHORT AND LONG-TERM MEMORY RETENTION

Numerous Virtual Reality Training projects have determined that immersive training increases the amount learned and retained in employee training (3). Walmart discovered that its Virtual Reality training program increased retention by 15% (4).

5. A PERSONALIZED APPROACH TO LEARNING

Traditional learning typically provides a one-size fits all learning system. On the contrary, the toPointC Virtual Reality training program will fit the needs of every individual officer. Consequently, law enforcement training leaders could create customized experiences for a level and pace that matches the status of the officer’s knowledge (5).
