Simulated weapons/ammunition scenario training have shortcomings of:

1.  Lack of recoil

2.  Lack of muzzle blast

3.  Low stress levels

4.  Lack of audible gunfire

5.  No instant playback of scenarios

There is no comparison to firing a simulated weapon at 400 feet per second vs. a real weapon firing 1200 feet per second.

Our years of experience have proven that trainees can do well in a ‘Simulated’ training situations, but tactics and accuracy falter when shooting live ammunition against the Perpetrator.

• Have a Perpetrator 1000 question?  A Training question?

Q-Does the Perpetrator 1000 handle rough terrain like grass or gravel?

A-Not currently.  The Perpetrator 1000 was designed to move in a human-like manner by stepping lateral from behind cover in order to shoot at trainees in the range.  Other robots cannot do this without rotating to desired direction of travel and then re-squaring off against trainees in order to engage.  The result is a lengthy and unrealistic simulation of human movement and actions.

Our future model in development will be fully off-road capable while still being able to move laterally without rotation in a human-like manner.

Q-Why should I be shot at in the range if I am already an expert shooter?

A-In the adversity of stress and real life conditions, everyone’s skills deteriorate. By coming close to recreating reality in training, we can successfully overcome, skill-killing stress and have confirmation that our tactics hold together such as when the Perpetrator 1000 shoots us!
Q-Why not just use Airsoft, Paintball, or other Paint Bullet (ie. Sim) ammunition against training partners?
A-Simulated ammunition offers very effective training possibilities.  However, there is no substitute for shooting, real live ammunition, cracking in your hand(s) at 1000 feet per second.  Training with the actual weapons and ammunition that we carry for a living, cannot be recreated against another person.  You CAN though, shoot your real weapons and ammunition at me, the Perpetrator 1000 and I will shoot you back with safe training rounds at 250 feet per second!  I’ll record all your moves to make you better.

• Shooting Human-like Target vs. Live Fire Ammunition!
• Fulfills U.S. District Court and U.S. Supreme Court’s “Adequate Police Training Mandates”

1. Stress induced training
2. Officer moving while shooting
3. Officer shooting a moving target
4. Low light/adverse lighting conditions
5. Decision based training; shoot/don’t shoot during live action drills

• Instruction provided in a safe, step by step progression
• Prepare to have the pie sliced upon you, training your defenses
• Get recordings of live fire training from the Perpetrator™ camera from downrange

The Officer Under Fire® Perpetrator™ is a moving, shooting, target system that is human in appearance and movement. The Perpetrator moves in all directions for live-fire range training with real weapons and ammunition.  Rubber balls are fired at 250 feet per second that will strike you if you are not behind cover.  The Perpetrator camera will replay your training scenarios for post-training video review.

This is different.  In this course you will be shot at with rubber balls as you fire bullets.  We repeatedly take fire in the range from training projectiles while executing tactics and marksmanship with real live ammunition into a human like target.

Our course focuses on two methods of defense:

1.  Seeking cover.  2. Defensive movement. Seeking cover via lateral movement as well as shooting behind cover while taking fire is experienced in this course.  Functional defense with successful offense is our tactical goal.

You will truly experience stress inoculation!

Overcoming the Resistance to Killing – Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman, Author
“Targets were formerly two-dimensional silhouettes, but in recent years both the military and police forces have been changing to mannequin-like, three-dimensional, molded plastic targets; photo realistic targets; and actual force-on-force encounters against live adversaries utilizing the paint pellet projectile training systems. These are key refinements in the conditioning process, since it is crucial that the discriminative stimulus used in training be as realistic as possible in its simulation of the actual stimulus if the training is to be transferred to reality in a life-and-death situation.”

This case involved a $2,200,200.00 settlement in a case where a police officer
allegedly shot a man who was helping a store clerk who had been shot during a robbery.
This case illustrates the need to train officers in shoot no-shoot situations.

Watson vs. City of Los Angeles (No. BC085132, L.A. Superior Central Ct.,
California, Dec. 29, 1995, L.A. Daily Journal Verdicts & Settlements, Vol. 109, No.
77, p.5, April 19,1996)

In this case a jury awarded a man $4,911,668 who was shot and rendered a paraplegic by
the officer pursuing him as he fled from a stopped vehicle, because of outstanding
warrants and illegal possession of a firearm. The plaintiff claimed he had abandoned the
weapon before the officer shot him. Subsequently, a $3.5 million settlement was agreed
to.
This case illustrates the need to train officers in the constitutional limitations on the use
of deadly force and department policy on the use of deadly force.

Camacho vs. City of Cudahy (VC009187, La. Superior Ct., March 31, 1994)

In this case the city was held liable for a $4,370.000 settlement to surviving family of a
man shot and killed by officer responding to a domestic disturbance call who thought a
stick in the man’s hand as he came out of an apartment was a rifle.
This case illustrates the need to train officers in shoot no-shoot situations.

Acosta vs. City and County of San Fransico (83 F. 3d 1143, 9th Circuit 1996)

In this case a Federal Appeals Court reinstated a jury’s $259,358.19 judgement against the officer for shooting and killing driver of a car making an escape from an alleged purse snatching. The jury necessarily found that officer could not have reasonably believed
himself in danger from a slow moving vehicle, and accordingly officer was not entitled to
qualified immunity.
This case illustrates the need to train officers on constitutional limitations of the use of
deadly force.
