The MILO training simulator will enhance the Security Department's ability to train on a range of topics, adapting to the evolving challenges faced by law enforcement, military, and public safety agencies. It will enable the department to evaluate trainees' performance in immersive, scenario-based exercises, complete with detailed debriefing and after-action reviews. Trainees will not only benefit from predefined scenarios but will also have the capability to design custom scenarios tailored to the specific areas they protect, improving their familiarity with these environments. The MILO Range Theater will boost security personnel's knowledge, skills, and confidence in a dynamic, interactive setting, aiding their understanding and application of the use of force policy.

5. Reasons for Authority Cited:

MILO Range Theater 180 is designed to assist with many training solution modules for advanced law enforcement training. The modern police officer must be skilled in de-escalation, crisis intervention, implicit bias, and other skill sets to improve community relations. As such, the MILO Range System has over 900 multi-branching scenarios to hone skills of new police recruits, as well as experienced officers during in-service training.

Modern simulator technology provides a unique opportunity to train on multiple topics that can evolve with the everchanging challenges faced by law enforcement today.

MILO systems provide a controlled and consistent testing platform for multiple agencies and multiple trainees to train on. Video-based scenarios can be encountered with numerous outcomes (or branches) that allow the trainee to exhibit their own judgment and, just as importantly, see the outcome from that decision. Training topics include car stops, domestics, and EDP’s, as well as mental health and crisis recognition and intervention.

Scenarios are produced to simulate book-learned applications, allowing the trainee to experience real time decision-making skills and view situations firsthand. MILO training videos can simulate a myriad of different real-world situations with various potential outcomes. Scenarios can be objective based, requiring a trainee to provide a response to a particular stimulus. Scenarios can also be geared toward an outcome (one that can be avoided with proper trainee responses or one that funnels the trainee to an unavoidable confrontation).

MILO training simulators have been selected by the most demanding law enforcement, military and public safety agencies and are in daily use around the world. The MILO training system is a comprehensive solution that is designed to allow instructors the ability to assess a trainee’s active engagement in immersive, scenario-based exercises with detailed debriefing and after-action review. Each MILO system is designed to increase trainee knowledge, skills, and confidence in a safe, challenging environment that is highly interactive and engaging.

Only the MILO system provides the audio/video interaction, completed with military/commercial situation that can be developed for applications and situations that DPG SEC encounters and aligns with the type of training offered at the test center.
