targets, graphic targets, and live fire; 2) use of force options and equipment, including chemical,
impact and electronic weapons; 3) ability of allowing up to four officers to use the system, each
being able to be recorded and measured independently; 4) use of untethered weapons and aim
trace; 5) specialized enhancement flashlight that can be utilized for nighttime training scenarios; 6)
capability of training officers using lethal and less than lethal force during the scenarios such as
OC Aerosol Delivery System (mace) and in the future M-26 Taser; and 7) free access to IES

of the Range 3000 XP4 Training System, for the Department of Police.

According to the department, the features of the Range 3000 XP4 Simulator are not available in the FATS

cannot be acquired elsewhere, and it is the only company to provide the feature of a single instructor's
monitor usage. I was further unable to locate any similar simulators, with these same unique features.
Accordingly, I am recommending that the requirements for formal competitive sealed bidding be waived,
and these findings be approved: IES Interactive Training, Inc., a Non-Minority/Non-Local vendor, located at

Please find attached a flyer describing the Range 3000 XP4. Specifically on Page 8 is a
photo & decription of the Heads Up Dlsplay Firarms Diagonistic System, which i believe
will be more versitile & effective as a teaching tool than'aimtrace'.
Again, IES will honor your original proposal & not charge Miami more for this unique
Heads Up system because we would like to have Miami as a reference account.
Call me with any other questions, otherwsie, see you Thursday morning...

today! This advanced technology is now available to enhance your training
needs and curriculum.

The ever-growing complexity of modem life is putting many .people in more
difficult situations requiring difficult and intricate decisions and judgments.
This is even more emphasized in all the cases where interrelations with other
people are .involved in the decision or judgment process, like in the event of
"Service Encounters".
One of the most prominent areas where Soft -Skills training is crucial, is "The -Use -
of -Force." The court has ruled that police departments are liable if they do not
train their officers to exercise reasonable force and more importantly, to make
correct decisions using the appropriate level of use -of -force. Training therefore
.must include problem solving and open ended simulation. The more simulation
training is used, the less force police officer use in the street.
Past attempts to simulate real life situations through traditional "Role Playing"
have many limitations.
In today's busy work environment there is lust no time to reinvent the wheel
every time you set up to re-enact a situation using traditional "Rote Play"
flee Interachre abiWy of the A2Z Is the medium that unlocks redundant training
techniques and avows you to locally create riveting training courses that beffer
shnuiate real We situations than any other training techniques seen beforer
The A2Z is a state-of-the-art Computer Based Training (CBT) system allowing
students to interact with realistic interactive scenarios projected life-size in the
classroom.
Using individual hand-held keypads, the students can answer true/false or
"multiple choice" questions as well as makes time -related judgments and
decisions. Based on the students' performance, the scenario will branch and
unfold to a virtually unlimited variety of different possible outcomes of the
students' actions. The .system logs and automatically scores each and every
trainee's response and answer. At the end of the scenario, the system displays a
session results summary from which the trainer can debrief the class.

instructor invaluable individual and collective data that allows you to quickly
focus on the things that really need improvement. The advance A2Z

0 Heads Up Display Firearms Diagnostic System - Self
Contained Student Headset:
'What are they seeing?"
This is the classic question asked by firearms instructors watching trainees shoot.
IES' Heads Up Display Firearms Diagnostic System, answers this question once
and for all. FNS eliminates the guesswork from analyzing performance by letting
instructors see through the eyes of students while they shoot.
A student wears the HUD, lightweight headgear, which contains a tiny video
camera and two small video screens - a personal heads -up display. The student
aims and fees normally, seeing through the camera mounted just in front of his or
her dominant eye. The students' sight picture is simultaneously shown on the
instructors' display, so the :instructor sees exactly what the student sees.
IES' Heads Up Display has been proven to save time and training resources. It is
used by many prestigious law enforcement training centers for armed officers in
the United States and Canada. HUD is used to teach fundamentals in the
classroom, to teach basics on the range, to diagnose problems encountered by
the trainee and to correct these errors. It has been proven to reduce the time,
ammunition, and amount of :instructors' attention required to bring trainees up
to qualification standards.

IES Interactive Training Introduces Range 3000
XP4 for Law Enforcement
IES Interactive Training, provider of use -of -force training products that develop
judgment and decision-making skills for law enforcement, military and
government professionals, recently announced the availability of the Range 3000
XP4, a next -generation scenario -based simulator that is portable, economical and
easily customizable. Running on Microsoft's Windows® Windows XP
Professional OS (operating system), the Range 3000 XP4 provides realistic
scenarios encountered by law enforcement agents — from gun violence in a school
to a liquor store robbery. With the Range 3000 XP4, each scenario can branch
infinitely depending on the reactions of the trainee. Moreover, the system can be
used in almost any room or indoor range — no special environment is required.
The system comes equipped with more than 100 -videotaped scenarios as well as a
proprietary video -editing program, called the IES Scenario Editor. The IES
Scenario Editor features a simple, point -and -click interface that enables law
enforcement trainers to tape and edit their own scenarios in as little as a few hours,

Police Marksman
Page 2 of 2
customizing the training program to meet changing security needs. The scenarios
can be taped with any standard video camcorder. In addition, graphics, text and
audio can be added to each new scenario quickly and easily.
The video -editing capabilities built into the Range 3000 XP4 enable law
enforcement organizations to create scenarios based on their department's use -of -
force policies and procedures. Now, law enforcement agencies can practice
scenarios in their hometown environments with familiar streets, neighborhoods
and shops, thus creating the most realistic digital simulation training available. The
IES Scenario Editor gives trainers a tool that enables them to recreate past events —
from traffic stops to active shooter environments — or events that may happen in
the future. Each scenario is designed to train the force to use proper procedures, so
all incidents are handled appropriately. Another unique feature is the ability to
upload and trade custom scenarios at no charge. IES Interactive Training maintains
an online library where law enforcement trainers can freely share their custom
scenarios with other agencies throughout the United States. This online library acts
as an ever-growing repository of custom scenarios, thus ensuring a steady stream
of fresh, relevant content for simulation training.
