CRMJ 2500 Advanced I Virtual Firearms Training
This course is a continuation of Intermediate Virtual Firearms Training (
CRMJ 1505), and furthers the study of issues that may apply when responding to emergency situations and evaluating possible alternatives and options using the Virtual Firearms Training Software. Training in stressful situations will challenge the student to perform and exhibit critical, judgmental, creative thinking, and communication skills under simulated real-life conditions. The student is required to perform via simulation in "as real as possible" situations and to evaluate and discuss decision-making techniques focusing on continuum of force decisions. Students enrolling in this course are required to have knowledge in the use of virtual firearm weapons and apply this knowledge to use of force and continuum of force situations. The focus of this course is not on firearms skills, handling of firearms, or proficiency with firearms. This course is not intended to, nor does it, qualify the student to meet any certification, licensing, or any other requirement for weapon ownership, possession, use or safety. Course may be repeated for a maximum of 3 credits. Prerequisite: Completion of Intermediate Virtual Firearms Training (
CRMJ 1505) or concurrent enrollment. (1 lect.) (Max 3)
Major Topics
- Advanced Emergency Response Scenarios
- Using Virtual Firearms Training Technology in Advanced Emergency Response Scenarios
- Analyze Decision Making Process and Apply to "as real as possible" Situations

Outcomes
In order to successfully complete this course, the student will:
1. Participate, discuss, and interpret advanced emergency response scenarios.
2. Recognize and apply the appropriate virtual firearms weapons to neutralize and/or counteract the advanced emergency response scenario.
3. Analyze the use of critical, creative thinking, communication, time-sensitive judgmental skills used in responding to advanced emergency scenarios.
4. Compare and contrast advanced emergency situations to basic and intermediate emergency situations, to better understand the nature of certain emergency situations.
5. Compare and contrast the use of virtual weapons in advanced emergency scenarios and basic/intermediate emergency scenarios.
6. Conduct debriefing session by applying, analyzing data, reviewing facts, evaluating, communicating information, and exercising judgmental decision making while participating in advanced emergency response scenarios.
