Peerless VR is a U.S.-based company founded by virtual-reality innovators and former public-safety practitioners. Their mission is to deliver advanced, adaptable, purpose-built VR training simulators explicitly tailored for law enforcement and public safety agencies.
Their platform supports fully immersive, instructor-controlled environments that safely and realistically replicate real-world situations. Trainers and agencies can build their own scenarios, customizing them to address the unique challenges their personnel face, from crisis-intervention and de-escalation to tactical decision-making and situational awareness.
Why Our Partnership Matters: Educating Agencies on Responsible, Effective VR Training
At TRI, our commitment is not merely to promote technology, but to educate public-safety professionals and agencies on how to use that technology to strengthen preparedness, preserve public trust, and enhance safety. Our collaboration with Peerless VR supports that mission by offering:
Education-First Approach to Advanced Training
-
VR training offers immersive, repeatable scenarios that allow officers to rehearse critical decision-making, de-escalation, and crisis response, all in a risk-free virtual environment. Research shows VR can safely simulate high-stress events and help officers build cognitive and behavioral responses that transfer to real-world duty (Zechner et. al, 2023).
-
The immersive nature of VR also supports empathy and perspective-taking, especially in interactions involving mental-health crises or community-oriented policing. Officers trained in VR have demonstrated improved empathy and de-escalation skills (Galoustian and Saginor, 2024).
Safe, Scalable, and Consistent Training Options
-
VR environments allow agencies to offer realistic training without the inherent risks of live-action drills, no live weapons, no physical danger, yet high realism and complexity are preserved.
-
The platform’s flexibility and portability mean agencies of any size can leverage VR, whether during in-service training, new-hire orientation, or continuing education, without significant infrastructure hurdles.
-
Repetition, scenario variation, and after-action review empower departments to refine tactics, communication, and decision protocols, allowing measurable improvements over time.
Promoting Public Trust Through Responsible Training
-
By combining immersive VR with evidence-based de-escalation, crisis-intervention, and community-oriented training modules, agencies can better prepare for diverse calls for service: mental-health crises, domestic situations, public disturbances, and more, under pedagogically sound and safe conditions.
-
This partnership aligns with evolving expectations: modern policing emphasizes de-escalation, empathy, and community safety. VR training helps meet those objectives proactively.
How TRI and Peerless VR Collaborate to Educate and Empower
-
Philosophy: We host informational sessions and live demonstrations to show how VR training works in practice, not just as a gadget, but as a serious training tool. Agencies, training officers, and decision-makers can experience the technology firsthand and learn best practices.
-
Curriculum Integration & Custom Scenario Design: Leveraging our background in forensic reconstruction, active-shooter survival, and AR/VR simulation, TRI consults with agencies to integrate VR into existing training frameworks, ensuring alignment with policy, pedagogy, and agency mission.
-
Ongoing Education & After-Action Support: Beyond initial adoption, we guide agencies on structuring VR-based programs, conducting after-action reviews, analyzing performance data, and continuously improving training outcomes.
-
Advocacy & Information Sharing: We produce content (articles, white papers, blog posts, webinars) to raise awareness across the public-safety community about the benefits, limitations, and ethical use of VR training, promoting transparency, accountability, and informed adoption.
