Gear up for IACP 2024: What’s New from VirTra

For VirTra, there is no event quite like the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP). It's where we debuted the now ubiquitous V-300 4K simulator in 2019, and where VirTra continues to announce its newest public safety technology. This year, we have another wealth of exciting training announcements that attendees won't want to miss. So, join our team in Boston to learn about new scenarios, content for healthcare and corrections,

VirTra launched over 40 new scenarios and plenty of new content since last year's conference.

Turning Awareness into Understanding - Adults with Autism Training Scenarios and 2-hours of certified curriculum

To kick things off, we teamed up with Southwest Autism Research & Research Center (SARRC) to build new scenarios that fill the gap in law enforcement autism education. The new material builds on 2022's Autism Awareness course but expands the scope to include adults on the spectrum. These new special populations have trainees put their skills to the test, safely navigating encounters with autistic individuals in a range of situations. "Rock Chucker" has officers de-escalating a man throwing pebbles at a neighbor's house, and in "Too Friendly," officers must navigate a difficult situation where an adult suspect is seen playing with strangers' children at a local park.

Over 40 New Scenarios Since Last Year's IACP!

Our team has been hard at work on a selection of new content, including an expansion of VirTra's elite training to corrections and healthcare industries. We have new, harrowing scenarios for church, school and public event shooting preparedness. VirTra's healthcare and correctional content includes new prison scenarios, inmate models, guards, a mess hall, doctors, nurses, and medical equipment models.

2024 also brings new emotionally disturbed persons training focused on a conspiratorial-minded man, and a suicidal office worker. Overall, 2024's content is an overhaul for new and existing VirTra customers, with mental health/mental illness scenarios, stress inoculation scenarios, duty to intervene training, and over 50 new V-Author assets. Existing content benefits from a quality-of-life update, receiving 4K support.

True-Fire™

In addition to these training scenarios, we're thrilled to introduce True Fire, the next evolution in realistic force simulation. This upgraded recoil kit technology allows trainees to simulate deadly force options with unmatched authenticity. It is the only recoil kit that does not produce false fires, providing officers with more reliable and immersive training experiences. Moreover, this technology is now available as an upgrade for current users, ensuring that both new and existing partners can benefit from the most realistic recoil kits available.

V-XR™

You may have seen a sneak peek at the V-XR last year, but now the product is ready to be showcased. It has come a long way in a year and has new features and scenarios! Learn more about VirTra's much-anticipated foray into extended reality by stopping by our booth or read more in advance, here.
