The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office is now using the Axon virtual reality simulator.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office has a new tool at its disposal to help train for the future.
“We want to make mistakes in here, learn from them and redo them so we don’t make the same mistakes when it really does happen to us,” said Cpl. Steven Wallace of the department’s patrol division. “It is a game changer. We used to have a PowerPoint presentation and you would talk about signs and symptoms. To be able to take our VR system to put you into the role-play of what that person has experienced, we believe that we can change some of the stigmas and the biases that even our own deputies have,” Wallace said.
