Infectious Diseases - 4 Hours

During and after the pandemic, people became much more aware of how many diseases can spread. Mitigating the spread of disease as a first responder goes beyond just COVID-19. Officers are in close contact with many people, and any of them could – knowingly or unknowingly – have an infectious disease.

Understanding the diseases and sicknesses that are at the highest risk for law enforcement officers to obtain is the start. Officers also benefit from understanding how diseases can spread and what the signs and symptoms are.

VirTra’s “Infectious Diseases” course combines classroom material for officers to learn from as well as interactive scenarios to help officers practice what they've learned.​​​​​​​

Contact Cover Concepts - 3 Hours

In any instance where multiple officers are responding to a call, effective communication and teamwork provide an extra layer of safety. Officers must not only communicate with each other, but also relay information to dispatch. Among these responsibilities, there also must be proper distancing and movement to ensure visualization of each other and the subject(s).
This course will go into detail about each officer's roles and responsibilities.​​​​​​​

• Training, Tactics, Procedures (TTP)

  Your role, where to stand,  cover and concealment and positioning will all be covered.

• Duties & Responsibilites

  Watching for pre-atack indicators such as visual, verbal or phsycial cues play a cruicial part in the splitting of responsibilites in a contact/cover setup.

• Practical Application

  You'll spend valuable training time inside the VirTra simulator & V-XR heasdset applying what you've learned.  Using our training scenarios, you will be able to see how a proper contact and cover setup can give you the advantage to stay safe.

Duty To Intervene - 2.5 Hours
