"Apex Officer is a game-changer for training technology and is transforming the face of law enforcement," said Chase Dittmer, chairman and CEO of Apex Officer. "Outdated technology prevents law enforcement agencies from training effectively. Our training platform was designed in the field with law enforcement, most importantly, to save the lives of law enforcement officers and the civilians they have sworn to protect. Having students who are interested in law enforcement careers utilize the simulator will increase their decision-making skills when they are officers. As the future of law enforcement, it's important to provide them with the best training and tools available."

The Apex Officer X1 Pro training system can simulate an infinite number of different training scenarios that can convey body language and other non-verbal threat cues that are a crucial part of progressive judgmental use of force training. The Apex Officer training simulator utilizes virtual reality technology and offers an immersive 360-degree view and includes peripheral vision and training tools that closely match those used in the field to enhance the transferability of the training to real-life scenarios.

"Introducing virtual reality training to students, will allow for realistic and challenging training."

Each training scenario in the Apex Officer content library is based on real-life incidents and is professionally produced with content that is carefully vetted by subject matter experts to rigorously test critical thinking skills, weapons skills under pressure, and psychological responses to the stresses of life-like situations.
