The ILEETA 2025 Conference and Expo, held in St. Louis, once again reinforced its reputation as one of the world’s premier education and technology events for law enforcement training professionals. Drawing instructors, command staff, and agencies from across the United States and internationally, the event featured over 572 instructional hours across six days, including certification courses, live-fire range sessions, and more than 120 training technology vendors.
Among this year’s exhibitors, V-Armed made its ILEETA debut, introducing attendees to its latest advancement in immersive police VR training.
V-Armed Debuts Portable Multi-Participant VR Training at ILEETA 2025
At ILEETA 2025, V-Armed demonstrated a four-participant Portable VR Training Simulator, marking a significant step forward in mobile, scalable law enforcement VR training.
The system allows multiple officers to train simultaneously in fully immersive environments—without the need for permanent facilities or large training footprints.
Key Capabilities of the V-Armed Portable VR Trainer
- Multi-participant training for up to four officers
- Support for multiple force options and accessories
- Full-body VR avatars for realistic officer representation
- Sub-millimeter weapon tracking accuracy
- Direct-to-headset immersive VR content delivery
These features enable agencies to conduct team-based training scenarios with a level of realism typically reserved for fixed training centers.
Real-World Police Training Scenarios in a Portable Format
Despite limited conference space, the V-Armed team transformed a 700-square-foot room into multiple high-fidelity training environments, including:
- A dynamic multi-person shooting range
- A residential apartment with a domestic disturbance scenario
- A hotel rooftop involving a distressed individual and aerial support
Each scenario demonstrated how portable VR training systems can replicate complex, high-risk situations without live-fire ranges, role-players, or large facilities.
Strong Interest From Law Enforcement Agencies
Throughout the conference, the V-Armed team conducted over 50 live demonstrations for walk-in groups. In addition, several Midwest law enforcement agencies reportedly traveled to ILEETA specifically to evaluate the system’s multi-participant VR capabilities.
The interest highlighted a growing demand for scalable, immersive police training solutions that can be deployed quickly and adapted to a wide range of operational needs.
Why Portable VR Training Matters for Modern Policing
The debut of V-Armed’s portable system reflects a broader shift in law enforcement training toward:
- Scenario-based decision-making
- Team coordination under stress
- Repeatable, data-driven training environments
- Reduced cost and logistical complexity
Portable VR platforms allow agencies to deliver advanced training without permanent infrastructure, making high-quality simulation accessible to departments of all sizes.
Looking Ahead to ILEETA 2026
Following the strong response at ILEETA 2025, V-Armed has indicated plans to expand its demonstrations at future conferences, including larger-scale scenarios and expanded training footprints.
As immersive technology continues to evolve, events like ILEETA play a critical role in connecting law enforcement professionals with tools that enhance readiness, safety, and accountability.
Conclusion: A Milestone for Law Enforcement VR Training
V-Armed’s first appearance at ILEETA 2025 marked an important milestone in the evolution of virtual reality training for law enforcement. By combining portability, multi-participant capability, and high-fidelity simulation, the company demonstrated how modern VR technology can support realistic, team-based police training in virtually any environment.
For agencies seeking flexible, immersive training solutions, the V-Armed Portable VR Trainer offers a compelling glimpse into the future of law enforcement education.
