VirTra Systems Receives IVR Simulator Order from Kansas City PDMay 7, 2007HOUSTON, TX - May 07, 2007 - VirTra Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: VTSI). Major General Perry V. Dalby (USA-Retired), VirTra Systems' chief executive officer, today announced receipt of an order from the Kansas City Police Department in Kansas City, Missouri, for an IVR® immersive small arms training simulator.
The simulator order included an IVR HD-180 firearms training simulator and accessories including VirTra Systems' weapon training-conversion products for long-rifles, shotguns, and handguns, plus non-lethal weaponry such as TASER® and OC pepper spray. The order also specified VirTra Systems' low-light/flashlight training accessories. Near-term delivery has been requested.
"We are pleased that such a prominent customer as the Kansas City Police Department has migrated to our immersive training simulator," commented Major General Dalby. "Non-military domestic sales patterns of our full-featured immersive product lines over the past year demonstrate increasing interest from law-enforcement educational institutions, prime contractors, and larger police departments.
"I believe the paradigm-shift from one-dimensional, single-screen systems toward immersive simulation for both initial training as well as skills maintenance is gaining momentum and indicative of the increasing role virtual reality is now playing in our everyday lives."
Established in 1874, Kansas City Police Department has more than 1350 sworn officers and currently serves a population of nearly one-half million, over 319 square-miles, answering in excess of one-quarter-of-a-million 911 calls annually.
"VirTra Systems' innovative products are changing the way we learn by easily and cost effectively exposing large numbers of participants to new experiences, and currently provide essential tools for firearms training, promotional advertising, medical treatment, and education," Major General Dalby concluded.
