Simulated scenario

Abstract

The rapid advancement in simulation software and its realism has made it possible to apply this technology to training, offering a cost-effective solution which is adaptable to the user’s requirements. Laser Shot Simulations is one of the global leaders in providing affordable, alternative training solutions for military and law enforcement professionals. The Malta Police Rapid & Special Intervention Unit is a first responder on most sensitive incidents, whose officers must take split-second decisions in circumstances which they may be encountering for the first time. The newly installed Laser Shot system can simulate multiple scenarios, which can escalate from a mere traffic stop, which officers encounter frequently, to a complex active shooter incident, all depending on how the officers apply their communication skills and approach. Moreover, the system provides the officers with an array of weapons systems, which are used in their daily duties, ranging from less-than-lethal equipment, such as, taser and pepper spray, right up to firearms.
