Current Issues/Trends in Judgmental Use-of-Force
Each incident involving the loss of life of officers or suspects, is reviewed in order to determine what could have been done differently to preserve life. Did the officer employ currently-approved tactics? Was too much, or too little force used? Was the officer properly trained to deal with this type of situation? Can lessons learned provide new techniques to avoid or reduce loss of life in the future? Until now, range officers could not adequately replicate actual shootings for training purposes because of technology limitations. The IVR™ series firearms training simulators now allow real-world tactical firearms training in a simulated environment that is closer to actual situations police and military encounter than ever before.

Take, for example, the Grape Street Shooting (September 14, 1984), or the Newhall Incident (April 5, 1970). In each of these incidents, the officers lost their lives because they were dealing with multiple threats from different directions. Today, we train differently, but single screen simulators do not expand or stimulate officer awareness to his or her surroundings. In fact, many instructors feel the industry is encouraging “tunnel vision” by having the trainees focus on an 8-10 foot screen directly in front of them. With the utilization of the IVR-base™HD, IVR-180™HD, IVR-300™HD, and IVR-360™HD, instructors can now demonstrate proper response tactics, in addition to contact and cover principals. With IVR™ use-of-force training systems, instructors can now:

• train for multiple threats from all quarters
• train target tracking from 0-degree to 360-degrees
• train to avoid “tunnel vision,” reducing surprise attack
