Not all training is equal
It takes constant training for public safety officers to perform at their best. But not all training is equal. Traditional police training can be time-consuming, unrealistic and expensive. Axon VR represents the future of public safety training: immersive de-escalation training that ultimately makes both communities and officers safer.
Axon VR brings the most immersive training scenarios, state-of-the-art technology and innovative training methods to public safety. From reduced costs to improved outcomes, the benefits speak for themselves.
