The increasing demand for police and military operations worldwide is driving the need for training in real, virtual, and simulated environments. NATO has established standards requirements for training and simulation and has concluded that a set of standards is required to enable efficient training doctrines, in conjunction with dedicated simulation systems and facilities. In order to support our customers in this sector, we have developed dedicated assets based on these standards.
We provide Consulting, Services and Infrastructures to Governmental Institutions and Private Companies.
Currently, Europe is going through an economic crisis, with countries like Greece, Italy and Spain experiencing severe recessions and high unemployment rates. Additionally, there have been increases in cases of illegal immigration and border conflicts, such as with the refugee crisis in Europe. These issues are also fueling crime and violence, as evidenced by the increase in rates of theft and abuse in many European cities.
Law enforcement officers are facing increasingly complex challenges and higher risks. They often have to deal with mentally or emotionally disturbed individuals, and increasingly, armed individuals who put the lives of officers at risk. Furthermore, officers often find themselves in these situations without the appropriate equipment or skills to handle them effectively. For example, many officers are equipped with duty firearms, but few are trained to use them safely. Most operators are unaware of the physical, psycho-emotional dynamics that underlie a conflict situation.
As a result, they often put their own and others’ safety at risk. The lack of knowledge increases the risk of collateral damage and excessive use of force and violence. For example, there have been cases of police abuse of power in countries such as France and Germany, such as during the Yellow Vests protests in France, and some reports of racism and discrimination by officers towards migrants and refugees in Germany.
For this reason, every administration must seriously consider the possibility of ongoing training for personnel and a process of continuous evaluation and revision of training objectives. This can help ensure that officers are adequately prepared to face the increasingly complex challenges of today’s society and reduce the risk of collateral damage and excessive use of force.
