, the Camden County Police Department said its state-of-the-art active shooter simulator is preparing its officers to quickly confront deadly situations.
A device on the officer’s belt sends a jolt of electricity to the officer if a virtual gunman shoots and hits the officer. Raphael Thornton is a retried Camden police sergeant who came back to train the next generation of officers.“Our officers are only as good as their training they receive,” Thornton said. “It allows our officers to go in and stop the threat without hesitation because, in an active shooter, time is of essence.”
