Dang.
Began my day yesterday in Rockford and worked all day, then drove from there to Valpo to attend the club meeting. So far in the day I had had four coffees and a tea, and a 99 cent hamburger.
And the club meeting ended with one of the Valpo police letting us use their Ti simulator.
Holy fuckamoley, what a system! The officer preps you but you walk into several different active shooter simulations, and using a specially constructed “Gun” engage the individuals. I did a lot better than I thought, I didn’t get killed, and I took the bad guys down in two situations and in a third talked the guy into dropping his weapon. yes, the system is good enough that it allows you to use vocalization to change the outcome of the situation. Damn.
So now I’m running on almost no sleep, with almost no blood sugar, and a massive adrenaline rush. Whooo!!! I’m STILL a little woozy as I type this, though I have finally gotten something to eat. THAT was a blast. Supposely there’s a place to go do this for hours at a time! My head might explode!
Dang.

First one’s free….
I doubt I’d get positive outcomes from what I’d yell at the shooters. ;-)
I have used one of those simulators in the past and they are a hoot. Gives you realistic shoots and you don’t die from the experience.
Tells me I would not want to go on a domesticate call at all.
Glad you had a good time.
You would be surprised.
+1 on Paul… NO domestics…
One of the major reasons I did not join the Grand Prairie PD back in the mid 80’s…domestics…had enough “fun” riding with one buddy and handling drunks (at the bars) and speeders.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!….
