New policing simulator will help train officers and students in de-escalation

ISU researchers used grant funding to bring the VirTra-100 judgmental criminal justice simulator to campus last fall. They say the simulator will provide the ISU Police Department, criminal justice students and rural law enforcement more opportunities to practice techniques to diffuse volatile situations and better respond to behavioral health issues.
