The simulator can create virtual scenarios from basic target practice to other situations officers may find themselves in, according to the social media post.
The program also simulates active shooters in schools.
Kettering Police Department also got a newly renovated classroom for training and has plans to put a matted room in the facility for defensive tactics training.
