Bellevue Police Department Selects VirTra's Custom Simulator

The police department in Bellevue, Washington, reportedly has ordered a custom version VirTra IVR-180 police decision making simulator and firearms training system for immediate delivery.

Company officials from VirTra Systems explain in a release that the all-inclusive police simulation system will fit into a small room and provide the most realistic arena for situational judgment training and advanced indoor marksmanship training.

The simulator marks an engineering-first for VirTra -- it has been custom designed to retract out of the way when not in use. This is a step that makes VirTra’s world-renowned simulators even more accessible to facilities with limited space.

The order includes VirTra’s patent-pending Threat-Fire belts for safe return fire simulation, and recoil kits that use low-cost compressed air instead of dangerous and expensive ammunition.

“We know that some customers need to use a classroom for both simulation training and lecture purposes,” said Bob Ferris, CEO and president of VirTra in a statement. “While our software and scenarios continue to lead the industry, our new retractable hardware truly shows the versatility of our firearms training systems to fit in smaller spaces and be a 100 percent efficient use of space for even a greater number of customers.”

VirTra produces best-in-class firearm simulators for both law enforcement and military customers throughout the world.

VirTra is the higher standard in simulation: from exceptional customer service to unparalleled technology like 360 degree HD training platforms and the Threat-Fire safe return fire system (patent pending).

When training realism matters, military and law enforcement professionals consistently select VirTra’s simulators to help save lives.

Back in March VirTra Systems announced a partnership with Threat Dynamics to open the first advanced firearm use-of-force training facility for law enforcement personnel.

While Hillsboro, Oregon, is the home of the first Threat Dynamics regional training facility, if successful, more than 11 facilities will be built across the U.S. in the years to come. Threat Dynamics insisted on using the best training tools in the world for each facility, which is why after doing their due diligence, VirTra was exclusively chosen to provide their immersive firearms training systems for each facility.
