Study Notes
Firearms Training Simulator
- The Firearms Training Simulator is equipped with simulated pistols, shotguns, and OC spray, allowing recruits to demonstrate skills and receive immediate feedback during scenarios.
Objectives
- Determine whether to use an intermediate weapon or escalate to a firearm based on scenario circumstances.
- Determine the appropriate time to draw a firearm based on the threat presented.
- Determine the appropriate time to fire a weapon or restrain from firing, and whether verbal commands or a verbal challenge should have been given.
- Determine if cover should have been used in response to the scenario.
- Determine if reckless gunfire was a consideration and should have prompted a different course of action.
- Determine if deadly force was justified based on current legal standards and department policy considerations.
Instruction
- Practical application of previously taught material through a variety of scenarios testing each objective's focus.
- Scenarios are designed by FATS providers and programmed into the training simulator, allowing for adjustments to emphasize strong and weak points.
- The computer-based video use of force simulator, FATS, is used for this block of instruction, with role-playing exercises incorporated where appropriate.
- Recruits have access to a laser-equipped firearm and a mace spray canister simulator to increase decision-making processes and realism.
Scenarios
- Scenarios include known risk calls, unknown situations, and surprises to create realistic experiences for law enforcement.
- Some scenarios involve one subject, while others include multiple subjects (good guys and bad guys).
- Scenes are designed to encourage recruits to prematurely drop their guard, illustrating lessons learned.
- Scenarios include opportunities for recruits to determine when to draw and which weapon to draw according to the threat presented.
- Simulated cover (portable wall unit) is available and its use is encouraged.
Evaluation
- Instructors provide thorough, constructive critiques on issues addressed in the objectives immediately following each scenario.
- Recruits are responsible for knowledge and issues addressed by current case law and use of force policies covered in the academy.
