'It listens to your commands, along with the instructor that's also listening to your commands,' Trooper First Class Pedro Muñiz said. 'How you speak, and what you say, if you react or don't react to a certain situation, it shows you a little glimpse of what could possibly happen in reality.'
This technology teaches recruits how to communicate under pressure to de-escalate a situation. According to the MILO website, MILO police training simulator scenarios are designed to accomplish several training tasks, fostering better, faster, safer tactical, operational, procedural and ethical decisions.
