Sacramento, CA virtual reality training for police officers
The Sacramento Police Department has started using the InVeris virtual reality training system to build scenarios based on real-life police encounters. The practice scenarios allow police officers to apply techniques such as implicit-bias, cultural competency, de-escalation, and peer intervention. The adjustable and modular system allows two officers to complete a virtual scenario together, receive instructions over the headset, and analyze footage of their behaviors afterwards.
