IN OBTAINING, A V/R SIMULATOR TRAINING SYSTEM THE RAPIDES PARISH SHERIFFS OFFICE WILL BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN THE CURRENT LECTURE BASED DE-ESCALATION TRAINING PROGRAMS AND SCENARIO BASED TRAINING. THIS SYSTEM WILL ALLOW THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER TO EXPAND UPON THE ACADEMIC KNOWLEDGE RECEIVED BY ALLOWING HIM OR HER TO IMPLEMENT THOSE TACTICS IN A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT WHERE IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK AND SUCCESSES ARE POSSIBLE, THEREBY INCREASING THE SUCCESSFUL UTILIZATION OF DE-ESCALATION TACTICS IN REAL WORLD SITUATIONS. THE RAPIDES PARISH SHERIFFS OFFICE IS THE LARGEST LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY WITHIN THE RED RIVER DELTA LAW ENFORCEMENT DISTRICT IN LOUISIANA, CONSISTING OF OVER 500 SWORN ENFORCEMENT AND CORRECTIONS PERSONNEL. THIS DISTRICT SERVES EIGHT PARISHES WITH OVER ONE HUNDRED LAW DIFFERENT LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES LOCATED WITHIN THESE PARISHES. MANY OF THESE AGENCIES CONSIST OF ONLY A FEW OFFICERS WHO HAVE NO OR VERY LIMITED ACCESS TO MODERN TRAINING PROGRAMS OR FACILITIES. THE SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT THROUGH THE PURCHASE OF A SIMULATOR SYSTEM SUCH AS THIS WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE VERY LOW COST TO ALMOST NO COST MODERN, VITAL TRAINING IN THE AREAS OF DE-ESCALATION TO HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF OFFICERS FROM ACROSS THE REGION AND EVEN TO AGENCIES THAT MAY NOT BE LOCATED WITHIN THE GEOGRAPHICAL BOUNDARIES OF THE DISTRICT. IN ADDITION, THE SHERIFFS OFFICE IS A SATELLITE CAMPUS OF THE ALEXANDRIA REGIONAL POLICE TRAINING ACADEMY, WHICH PROVIDES LOUISIANA PEACE OFFICER STANDARDS AND TRAINING (P.O.S.T.) BASIC CERTIFICATION FOR THE CENTRAL LOUISIANA REGION. THESE BASIC ACADEMY ROLES CONSIST OF CONDUCTING MULTIPLE TRAINING ACADEMIES FOR ENFORCEMENT AND CORRECTIONS PERSONNEL EACH YEAR. THIS SIMULATOR WOULD PROVIDE THESE BASIC ACADEMIES AN EVEN GREATER CAPABILITY TO PROVIDE A HOLISTIC DE-ESCALATION TRAINING PROGRAM TO THE BASIC ACADEMY CLASSES, FURTHER AFFECTING THE FUTURE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT IN A POSITIVE MANNER THROUGH AN EMPHASIS ON COMMUNICATION AND DE-ESCALATION. THE METRO POPULATION SERVED BY THE SHERIFFS OFFICE IS OVER 150,000 CITIZENS WITH MANY MORE VISITING OR TRAVELING THROUGH THE REGION. THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE THE BEST MOST COMPLETE TRAINING POSSIBLE FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT WITHIN THIS REGION WILL SERVE TO REDUCE
