    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.
