How Decision Tactical Prepares Law Enforcement for Real-World Threats

In a world where threats evolve rapidly, hands-on law enforcement training is critical—not just for officers’ safety but for the protection of the communities they serve. At Decision Tactical, we’re committed to empowering local officers with the training and knowledge needed to respond to crisis situations with confidence.  

Recently, Spectrum News 13 visited our facility to learn more about how we’re shaping the future of law enforcement training. Sanford Deputy Chief of Police Trekelle Perkins, alongside our leadership team, walked reporters through one of our most immersive training experiences: the Street Scenario. This dynamic exercise begins in an everyday setting—a diner counter—before escalating into a high-intensity response situation. Officers must quickly assess the unfolding threat as they receive intelligence about terrorists in the area. From there, participants move into a town set, where they must navigate realistic urban environments, engage threats, and prioritize civilian safety, all under the pressure of real-time decision-making.

During their visit, Spectrum’s reporters were introduced to the cutting-edge simulation technology that powers our scenarios. Officers utilize CO2-powered firearms that produce realistic recoil, ensuring they train with the same physical sensations they would experience in a real-world encounter. Our interactive characters, capable of responding to verbal commands, add another layer of complexity, forcing participants to think critically, communicate effectively, and act decisively.

By providing this level of realism in a controlled, safe environment, Decision Tactical ensures that law enforcement personnel are prepared to handle crises with precision and confidence. As threats continue to evolve, so must the strategies and skills used to confront them, making advanced training not just beneficial, but essential.
