VFTO
Virtual Field Training OfficerSM
A virtual security or police field training officer (FTO) in a VR environment revolutionizes police training by offering a safe, immersive, and cost-effective platform to simulate real-world scenarios. Trainees can practice critical skills like de-escalation, tactical decision-making, and situational awareness under the guidance of a virtual FTO, which provides real-time feedback and adapts scenarios to individual performance. This technology enables repeated practice in diverse, high-pressure situations—such as active shooter events or traffic stops—without the risks or logistical challenges of live training. By leveraging VR, agencies can enhance officer preparedness, reduce training costs, and ensure consistent, high-quality instruction, ultimately improving public safety outcomes.
