The Firearm Simulator is being purchased to meet the Oklahoma Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training standards of providing scenario based training in the firearms portion of the basic academy.

The Police Department will also use the Firearms Simulator in our public outreach mission such as the Citizen’s Police Academy and Leadership Broken Arrow.
