An Immersive Training Experience That Blurs the Lines of Simulation and Reality
Our Mission
Save Lives - Bridge Divides
This involves a two-pronged approach:
- Better train first responders for high-stress interactions and crisis situations.
- Increase the public’s understanding of police-interaction challenges and what to do in crisis situations.
Through an experiential learning process, D-TAC illuminates challenges faced by both police and civilians in crisis situations and provides the opportunity to review and learn from mistakes before they have an impact in the real world.
Better training leads to better actions, and increased empathy fosters a mutual understanding. The combination of both can achieve real change and save lives.
Welcome to D-TAC
How It Works
1. Register At The Front Desk
Verify your signed waiver at the front desk and receive your personal dog tag with a unique QR code. This dog tag allows you to access the scenarios and review your performance for each individual scenario you navigate. The dog tag is yours to keep, so you’ll only need to register once.
NOTE: NO LIVE WEAPONS.
2. Get Armed
An Armorer will issue your recoiling sim gun once you cleanly pass through the locked-gate metal detector system. Test your sim gun in one of the Armory’s bullet traps. These sim guns feature realistic recoil and sound. Pepper spray is also available as an alternative for most scenarios.
3. Hit the Shooting Range, Scenarios or Competition Course
Once you are issued your recoiling sim gun, you are free to experience one of the Scenarios or hone your skills at the Shooting Range or Competition Course.
4. Review Your Performance
Review your videos and stats at the AAR Center to evaluate your performance and improve your skills. You’ll also receive a personal highlight reel for bragging rights and to help us get the word out so more people support our mission.
5. Rest Assured
We mandate rigorous safety precautions to ensure a live firearm is never mistaken for a recoiling sim gun. Our safety measures, scrutinized by law enforcement safety specialists, include:
- Lockers for concealed carry professionals and a POLICE ONLY locker room with a double-check in-person safety system.
- Unarmed safety zones with conspicuous signs. No live firearms or ammo in the training areas.
- Metal detector screening of all participants prior to entry.
If you’re not law enforcement or a security professional, please KEEP YOUR WEAPONS SAFELY STORED ELSEWHERE.
