Policing Insight - Subscription at source 9/6/2023 Analysis, Feature Can a Virtual Reality Training Scenario Elicit Similar Stress Response as a Realistic Scenario-Based Training Scenario? One key feature for scenario-based training is introducing stressful, realistic scenarios for trainees. Some law enforcement agencies have begun using virtual reality systems to provide scenario training for their officers. Therefore, the current study was conducted to assess if a virtual reality training scenario can elicit a similar stress response as a realistic scenario-based training scenario. The independent groups quasi-experiment collected salivary markers of acute stress (α-amylase and secretory immunoglobulin A) prior to, and immediately following, either an in-person scenario-based training exercise (n=31) or a virtual reality scenario (n=27) based on the in-person exercise. Difference-in-difference and two-way ANOVA tests were performed. Overall, participants exposed to the virtual reality scenario experienced a similar stress response to the realistic in-person scenario-based training exercise. Implications for law enforcement agencies are discussed to hopefully move police training forward.
