College of Police uses virtual reality (VR) headsets in police training
The College of Policing hired us in February 2022 to gather information and opinions about the usage of virtual reality (VR) headsets in police training.
To do this, 19 experts, including academics and practitioners from the UK and abroad, were consulted after we assessed pertinent literature. Our analysis:
reviewed the locations where UK and international police departments have tried using VR
outlined the available research and factors to take into account for employing VR in police training
Next developments for the industry regarding VR training applications
One of the client team members said:
OIT delivered outstanding service.
The crew had understanding, picked up on the needs quickly, and required little guidance.
The finished work is concise and straightforward, and it will be very useful moving forward.
