The PatrolSim IV from MPRI met all of FLETC's requirements and also provided the best value. The PatrolSim IV complements existing training by enabling drivers to train for critical, high-risk tasks that are too dangerous and/or costly to be conducted frequently in vehicles, e.g. driving on ice, fording streams, driving under blackout conditions and driving down steep embankments when coming off an improved road. It features high resolution graphics on plasma displays to provide unmatched realism, and comprehensive training with hundreds of POST Certified Scenarios consisting of traffic stops, pursuits, multiple vehicles, emergency responses, etc. It also features the Instructor Operating Station, which allows the instructor to track, record and play back the movements of multiple networked simulators, which is ideal for coordinated pursuits. By utilizing simulators to supplement and reinforce its actual non-emergency, skid control, and emergency driving, FLETC will reduce the frequency and severity of vehicle-related operational accidents involving law enforcement officers, which are the greatest liability for loss of life on duty.
