The Range 3000 XP4 Training Simulator will replace the Firearms Training Systems (FATS) that

in the high liability areas of deadly force, firearms, and discretionary shooting. It allows the user

policies and procedures, and ensuring the department is utilizing the most current and relevant
training scenarios. The manufacturer, IES Interactive Training, Inc., is the leading provider of
interactive, multimedia, fully digital training simulators for law enforcement, homeland security,
military and similar applications.
There are many features of the Range 3000 XP4 Simulator not available in the FATS System.
Specific areas of training enhancements include: 1) training using interactive video, marksmanship
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
Digital Scenario Library (400 plus scenarios). The system will be pre -loaded with approximately
forty (40) plus multi -branching judgmental use of force scenarios and threat recognition -training

ENCLOSURES:
An investigation was conducted by staff to determine whether IES Interactive Training, Inc., a Non-

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

Io A2Z Classroom Trainer:
This is the most advanced all digital multimedia training simulator on the market
today! This advanced technology is now available to enhance your training
needs and curriculum.
A2Z Interactive Multimedia Classroom Training System...
The ultimate "Soft -Skills" training tool Allowing students to interact with life-size
realistic scenarios usina individual keypads!
The ever-growing complexity of modern 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".
93- 959
Y
:annrn
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 just no time to reinvent the wheel
every time you set up to re-enact a situation using traditional "Role Play"
The interactive ability of the A2Z is the medium that unlocks redundant training
techniques and allows you to locally create riveting training courses that better
simulate real life situations than any other training techniques seen before!
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.
The A2Z comprehensive Training Management and Statistical tools give the
instructor invaluable individual and collective data that allows you to quickly
focus on the things that really need improvement. The advance A2Z
Courseware Authoring Tools allow the trainer to easily create complete
interactive courses and scenarios locally.
The Authoring tools hamess the latest advances in Digital Video and Multimedia
allowing the trainer to capture video and graphics from any source. The trainer

Scenario Interaction:
When training a large number of trainees this option allows for debriefing at a
later stage in a different location and allows the generation of full reports as well
as digital recording of the entire session including the scenario, the reaction and
the result.
Includes a closed circuit color camera, digital capture onto Range3000 XP4
System for picture -in -picture system (PIP). Allows recording of officer's reaction
during scenario and playback inserted into the scenario with the PIP capability
for evaluation. This option further allows manual override of system scoring and
reports.

and creation of interactive Marksmanship Target
Training:
This software option allows the user to run 2D -Graphics targets super -imposed on
any still or video background. This feature allows the custom creation of various
marksmanship or virtual range environments. The 2D -Graphics enhancement
allows for greater flexibility in the custorn creation of scenarios and graphics
within the scenarios.
