VirTra and Force Science Institute Announce Law Enforcement Training
April 09 2018 - 8:00AM
VirTra, Inc. (Nasdaq:VTSI) (the “Company”), a
global provider of training simulators for the law enforcement,
military, educational and commercial markets, and Force Science®
Institute today announced a four-part series of law enforcement
training courses based on the research, science, and applications
that Force Science has developed over the past 40 years. Each
course will explore Force Science, the application of unbiased
scientific principles and processes in repetitive physical
experiments designed to determine the true nature of suspect
provocation and officer response (action-reaction dynamics). The
goal of the program is to encourage law enforcement professionals
to apply the important concepts revealed in this research when
investigating, reconstructing, recalling or otherwise analyzing use
of force. The courses will run for two days and take place at
various cities around the United States in 2018.
The schedule for classes and host agencies are as follows:
- Los Angeles Police Department | June 7-8 | Los Angeles,
CA
- St. Louis County Police Department | July 19-20 | St. Louis,
MO
- Dallas Police Department | August 23-24 | Dallas,
TX
- Orange County Sheriff's Office | October 4-5 | Orlando,
FL
“Force Science courses are vital to the education of law
enforcement officers,” said Jason Mulcahy, general manager at
VirTra. “We have integrated Force Science research and training
into our simulations as well as the newly developed training
curriculum VirTra now offers our customers. We look forward to
working closely with Force Science on future projects.”
Additionally, as part of the learning experience, participants
have the opportunity to experience VirTra’s new Human Factors in
Force Encounters™ training events in VirTra’s immersive V-300™
training simulator, which is based on the science and teachings of
Force Science.
VirTra’s newly developed Human Factors in Force Encounters
curriculum program examines the science behind human performance
under stress. The course includes a lesson plan, simulation
exercises, course evaluation, testing and more. The complete
coursework and simulator events and scenarios will be on site for
review by the students.
“Force Science Institute is impressed with the efforts that
VirTra has made in trying to accurately capture the science behind
some of our research on the speed and time dynamics and often
rapidly unfolding nature of a possible assault. These VirTra
Human Factor scenarios take what we did in the lab setting and
turned them into a demonstrative format that users can experience
on their own.” said Scott Buhrmaster, Chief Operating Officer of
Force Science Institute out of Chicago, IL.
