Yesterday, the Berea Citizen Newspaper joined us at the Madison County Emergency Operations Center for a hands-on training event where we utilized the W.R.A.P Virtual Reality Training System.

This training system, provided by KACo(Kentucky Association of Counties - KACo), provides Law Enforcement Agencies across the Commonwealth with a unique integrated virtual reality capability; delivering highly immersive and interactive scenario-based situation, using in-service weapons and tools. By utilizing this free training, Deputies can fully interact in scenarios and situations such as: traffic stops, crisis intervention incidents, domestic violence calls for service or active shooter events.

We would like to thank the Berea Citizen for attending this training and actively participating in this hands-on experience that we utilize in enhancing our Law Enforcement training, decision making and Deputy preparedness here in Madison County.
