The City of Clinton Police Department (CPD) was awarded a $130,720 federal Project Grant under the U.S. Department of Justice's Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Office "Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants" program (CFDA 16.710). The grant funding will be used to procure a state-of-the-art virtual reality (VR) training system to enhance the CPD's officer training programs. This advanced VR technology will provide immersive, scenario-based exercises that mirror real-world situations, improving officers' decision-making skills, situational awareness, and de-escalation techniques. The goal is to train officers to obtain compliance using less force, ultimately leading to safer outcomes for both personnel and the community. The grant award period is from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026.
