Introduction

SSVR training scenarios are simulations of realistic scenarios faced by civilian and military law enforcement personnel in the course of their duties. Most have multiple possible outcomes, and some have several. Training Officers can use these scenarios to train and evaluate decision-making skills, particularly in the areas of situation analysis, the application of lethal and non-lethal force, and negotiation and situational defusing skills. Since the actions and reactions of the simulated civilians are up to the Training Officer, those outcomes can be based directly on the trainee’s response to the stressful situations in which they find themselves, and impactful teachable moments can be created through reinforcement of training standards.
