A Scottsdale-based company has developed the technology to provide a range of immersive training environments to officers. Author: Mitch Carr (12News) Updated: 3:34 PM MST May 14, 2021 PHOENIX — Every time police shoot a person, it negatively impacts their relationship with the community. To combat shootings, police departments work to have the best training possible. Scottsdale-based Axon has a long-running relationship with law enforcement providing tasers, an alternative to a gun. Now, Axon is also helping with training after developing a virtual reality training for officers that, according to President Luke Larson, is available to Phoenix police any time and anywhere. “What’s really cool about VR technology is we’re at this inflection point where the immersive experience really creates better outcomes,” Larson said. “What this allows is agencies to do is to go into these scenarios where they might not have great training materials today and go through an immersive experience.”
