We have Ben Stickle on the show, he's a former police officer turned MTSU professor, and he's here to talk about an exciting initiative funded by a recent grant.
This groundbreaking project focuses on training police officers in de-escalation techniques using cutting-edge virtual reality technology. Through immersive experiences facilitated by virtual reality goggles, officers step into lifelike scenarios where they engage with the community in a safe, controlled environment. The hands-on approach allows them to experiment, try different strategies, and learn from their interactions, ultimately enhancing their crisis management skills.
