PRINCETON, NJ – The Princeton Police Department will be implementing the WRAP Reality Virtual Training Program, a fully immersive training simulator and comprehensive public safety training platform. The platform provides first responders with the discipline and practice in methods of de-escalation, conflict resolution, and use-of-force to better perform in the field. "We are always striving to have the best training in place for our officers, and adding virtual reality is an important step toward that goal," said Princeton Police Chief Christopher Morgan in a prepared statement. "Virtual reality training allows us to immerse our officers into dangerous and critical decision-making situations while controlling the outcome. WRAP Reality affords us the opportunity to hone the de-escalation skills our officers need to successfully and safely defuse a range of critical incidents."
