Interactive Video Based Judgement Simulator Training
This course provides hands-on training in tactical movement within a home or other structures, followed by integration of these skills using a state-of-the-art computer simulator. Training utilizes an inert, laser-enabled, recoiling handgun for realism and safety.
Students will engage in multiple "shoot/don’t shoot" video scenarios designed to test judgment under pressure. Each scenario is recorded and reviewed during an after-action critique. Instructors dynamically adjust outcomes based on student behavior, creating one of the most realistic and effective methods for evaluating use-of-force knowledge and stress performance.
Note:
The live-firearm portion of the course is dependent upon winter cold weather conditions. If the temperatures are not favorable or safe for shooting, then the indoor computer simulator will be used.
