Why does it matter:
For the best policing possible, we need the best training possible. This training tool will allow our officers to train and re-train using thousands of real life scenarios so when they run into the real thing on the street, they’ll instinctively know how to respond…because there’s a good chance they’ve done it before in VR.

How the money will be used:
The $259,000 will be used to support the purchase, ongoing maintenance fees, and associated hardware for a virtual reality training capability for 191 users for the next 8 years. The cash outlay will be approximately $33k per year.
