      <title>Concord Police Utilize Apex Officer VR Simulator for Use of Force Training</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">With the Apex Officer virtual reality training simulator, Concord police officers can train for de-escalation, use of force, and crisis intervention scenarios in an immersive virtual environment.</p><p>San Francisco, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 05/28/2019 --  Apex Officer, an international provider of virtual reality training simulators for the law enforcement, military, first responder, commercial and educational markets, announced today that California&apos;s Concord Police Department has installed Apex Officer&apos;s virtual reality training simulator.<br />
<br />
Concord is the largest city in Contra Costa County, California and 8th largest city in the San Francisco Bay Area. Concord Police Department serves a population of over 122,067 residents. This represents the second significant sale of virtual reality training simulators by California law enforcement agencies and sets the stage for a revolution in active shooter and use of force training, using the total immersion of virtual reality technology for de-escalation training.<br />
<br />
With the national focus on the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="use of force" href="https://www.apexofficer.com/use-of-force">use of force</a> and police training, the Concord Police Department saw an opportunity to better prepare its officers with training equipment designed to improve decision making in high-pressure and extreme stress situations. After significant research on the various options, the Concord Police Department chose to include the Apex Officer virtual reality judgmental use of force and de-escalation training simulator as a major component of its training program.<br />
<br />
"As the variety and type of threats to law enforcement and citizens alike continue to grow, many law enforcement agencies are looking towards innovative VR technology to better train their police officers in a safe and cost-effective manner," said Chase Dittmer, chairman, and CEO of Apex Officer. "Unlike other training simulators currently being used by law enforcement agencies, Apex Officer is the first to provide a truly immersive, fully integrated, and realistic virtual reality experience."<br />
<br />
The Apex Officer team has spent years working with their early law enforcement customers and partners to ensure their training content is superior in quality, realism, immersion, and relevance. Apex Officer also employs a number of subject matter experts that helped guide the development of their police and law enforcement training system and scenarios.<br />
<br />
Each training scenario in the Apex Officer content library is based on real-life incidents and is professionally produced with content that is carefully vetted by subject matter experts to rigorously test a trainee&apos;s critical thinking skills, de-escalation skills, and psychological responses to the stresses of life-like situations.<br />
<br />
"As a company, we are proud of the seeds we are planting across our country," said Chase Dittmer. "We are honored to work with the brave men and women of the Concord Police Department. We are grateful for this opportunity."<br />
<br />
The Apex Officer VR training system is capable of simulating an infinite number of different <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="police training scenarios" href="https://www.apexofficer.com/scenarios">police training scenarios</a> that can convey body language and other non-verbal threat cues that are a crucial part of progressive de-escalation training.

<br />
"Our main focus is on safety. We want everyone to come home to their families safely. I grew up in a law enforcement family and as a child, I was always scared that they weren&apos;t going to make it home," said Chase Dittmer. "If you take out your firearm and you pull that trigger, you can&apos;t take that bullet back. There isn&apos;t a restart button in real life. However, if you pull out your firearm and you&apos;re able to talk them down and de-escalate the situation, you can always put your firearm away. We want the suspects, the victims, and our law enforcement officers to make it home safely. Apex Officer training provides that preparation."<br />

      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The Apex Officer simulator allows the Air Force Security Forces to train for active shooter, use of force, and crisis intervention situations in a 360-degree virtual reality training environment.</p><p>Las Vegas, NV -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 04/11/2019 --  Apex Officer, an international provider of virtual reality training simulators for the law enforcement, military, first responder, commercial and educational markets, today announced that the United States Air Force 628th Security Forces Squadron has installed two <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Apex Officer virtual reality military training simulators" href="https://www.apexofficer.com/military-training/">Apex Officer virtual reality military training simulators</a>.<br />
<br />
This represents the first significant sale for <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="virtual reality force option training simulators by the Air Force Security Force Squadron" href="https://www.apexofficer.com/security-forces/">virtual reality force option training simulators by the Air Force Security Force Squadron</a> and sets the stage for a revolution in active shooter and use of force training, using the total immersion of virtual reality technology for firearms and de-escalation training.<br />
<br />
The 628th Security Forces Squadron, stationed at Joint Base Charleston in South Carolina, provides force protection, law enforcement, physical security and admin support for 28,000 military civilians, retirees, dependents on a 6,688-acre installation. They also provide security for strategic aircraft valued at $12.8B, conduct firearms training; trains/equips defense forces/military working dog teams, and much more. With the national focus on use of force, active shooter, and de-escalation training, the U.S. Air Force saw an opportunity to better prepare its members with training equipment designed to improve decision making in high-pressure situations. After significant research on the various options, the Air Force chose to include the Apex Officer judgmental use of force VR training simulator as a major component of its training program.<br />
<br />
"Apex Officer is a game-changer for training technology and is transforming the way our armed forces approach training," said Chase Dittmer, chairman, and CEO of Apex Officer. "Outdated technology is preventing our military and armed forces professionals from training effectively. Our training platform was designed in the field with training experts to save time, money and, most importantly, protecting the lives of the service members and the civilians they have sworn to protect."<br />
<br />
The Apex Officer team has spent years working with their early military customers and partners to ensure their training content is superior in quality, realism, immersion, and relevance. Apex Officer also employs a number of subject matter experts that helped guide the development of their military and combat training system and scenarios.<br />
<br />
"As a company, we are proud of the seeds we are planting across our country," said Chase Dittmer. "We are honored to work with the United States Air Force and the brave women and men of the 628th Security Forces Squadron. Apex Officer will play an active role in the training of our Armed Forces. We are grateful for this opportunity."<br />
<br />
Apex Officer&apos;s VR training simulator features a wide range of VR Training Weapons (VTW) designed specifically for virtual reality military training by Apex Officer&apos;s armory, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Apex Arsenal" href="https://www.apexofficer.com/arsenal/">Apex Arsenal</a>. These virtual training weapons are similar in size, shape, and appearance to their real-life counterparts, but do not cause harm to their owners. Apex Officer is proud to be among the first companies to implement the U.S. Army&apos;s new modular handgun system (MHS) and support both the Sig Sauer M17 and M18. Apex Officer&apos;s VR Training Weapons are used during virtual reality combat training and simulations which are designed to instruct new soldiers (or other personnel) in the skills and techniques needed for front line action. <br />
<br />
Equipped with replica training weapons that look, weigh, feel identical to their real-life counterparts, the Apex Officer training system is capable of simulating an infinite number of different training scenarios that can convey body language and other non-verbal threat cues that are a crucial part of progressive judgmental use of force training. Apex Officer&apos;s virtual reality training simulator utilizes the best virtual reality technology available and offers an immersive 360-degree view and includes peripheral vision and training tools that closely match those used in the field to enhance the transferability of the training to real-life scenarios.<br />
<br />
"As the variety and type of threats to our armed forces and citizens alike continue to grow, many government agencies are looking towards innovative technology to better train their personnel in a safe and cost-effective manner," said Chase Dittmer, chairman, and CEO of Apex Officer. "Unlike other firearms training simulators, we&apos;re proud that Apex Officer provides a truly immersive, fully integrated, and real virtual reality experience."<br />
<br />
Each training scenario in the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Apex Officer content library" href="https://www.apexofficer.com/scenarios/">Apex Officer content library</a> is based on real-life incidents and is professionally produced with content that is carefully vetted by subject matter experts to rigorously test a trainee&apos;s critical thinking skills, weapons skills under pressure, and psychological responses to the stresses of life-like situations.<br />
<br />
"Our main focus is on safety. We want everyone to home to their families safely, said Chase Dittmer. "If you take out your firearm and you pull that trigger, you can&apos;t take that bullet back. There isn&apos;t a restart button in real life. However, if you pull out your firearm and you&apos;re able to talk them down and de-escalate the situation, you can always put your firearm away. We want the suspects, the victims, and our Airmen to make it home safely. Apex Officer training provides that preparation."<br />
