VirTra, Inc.,a global provider of judgmental use of force training simulators, and firearms training simulators for the law enforcement and military markets, has received a standing offer from the Government of Canada to supply marksmanship and judgmental use of force simulation technology to various law enforcement, border protection and corrections facilities throughout Canada.

“We are honored the Government of Canada entrusted us to provide them with the latest in life-saving, judgmental use of force and de-escalation training,” said VirTra CEO and Chairman Bob Ferris. “Together, we plan to take simulation training to even higher levels of preparedness for those who may face split second decisions.”

We look forward to expanding our presence in Canada as we execute this expected large-scale rollout with multiple Canadian agencies.”
