Keith Gillis, had the suspect escalate to wanting to hurt himself, which then warranted a different response from the officer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe benefit is that we are able to put officers in stressful situations and hopefully we can make corrections and have them make mistakes and learn from the simulator,\u201d said Gillis.<\/p>\n<p>The weapon officers train with is an actual firearm that\u2019s been upgraded with a CO2 barrel and laser shot system which reacts to their taser and gun.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey might have a couple seconds to make a decision of using deadly force,\u201d said Gillis. \u201cWe want to make sure they\u2019ve done everything possible to avoid that situation and de-escalate the situation so it doesn\u2019t turn into a deadly force situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The simulator training system costs around $50,000 and was purchased by the Grand Traverse Tribal Police Department two years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Tribal Police and Traverse City Police have a mutual training program together to utilize the equipment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row us_custom_eac59c77 height_auto\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h5>More Blogs<\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"w-grid type_carousel layout_blog_1 cols_4\" id=\"us_grid_1\"><style>#us_grid_1 .w-grid-item{padding:1.5rem}#us_grid_1 .w-grid-list{margin:-1.5rem}.w-grid + #us_grid_1 .w-grid-list,.w-grid-none + #us_grid_1 .w-grid-list{margin-top:1.5rem}.layout_blog_1 .w-grid-item-h{}.layout_blog_1 .usg_post_image_1{margin-bottom:0.5rem!important}.layout_blog_1 .usg_post_title_1{font-size:1rem!important}<\/style><div class=\"w-grid-list owl-carousel navstyle_circle navpos_outside\" style=\"--arrows-size:1.8rem;\">\t<article class=\"w-grid-item post-1644 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-military tag-military\" data-id=\"1644\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"w-grid-item-h\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-post-elm post_image usg_post_image_1 stretched\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lasershot.com\/dev\/laser-shot-featured-in-tactical-lifes-special-weapons-for-military-police-magazine-by-r-jordan\/\" aria-label=\"Laser Shot featured in Tactical-Life\u2019s Special Weapons for Military &#038; Police magazine by R.
