TOWNSHIP OF REDFORD PROPOSES TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A VR SYSTEM TO ENHANCE ITS CURRENT TRAINING EFFORTS IN DE-ESCALATION, IMPLICIT BIAS, AND DUTY TO INTERVENE THROUGH THE ABILITY TO FULLY IMMERSE THE PARTICIPATING OFFICER IN THE SCENARIO, AND INCLUDE ICAT SESSIONS TO BROADEN THE SKILLS OF OFFICERS IN VERBAL COMMUNICATION DESIGNED TO DE-ESCALATE VOLATILE SITUATIONS. THESE SESSIONS WILL INCLUDE NOT ONLY DISCUSSIONS ON IMPLICIT BIASES AND THE DUTY TO INTERVENE BUT WILL ALSO PROVIDE THE OFFICERS WITH STRATEGIES AND BEST PRACTICES FOR IMPLEMENTING THESE DE-ESCALATION TECHNIQUES.
