Military, civil & federal police police shooting simulator

A police shooting simulator has to train more than marksmanship. SiNTRES systems put officers in front of people who talk, run, hide and threaten — and ask them to decide, communicate and, only when necessary, shoot. With laser or with live rounds from their own service weapon.

What police training must deliver

Judgment under stress, not just accuracy

For military police on patrol, civil police investigators serving warrants and federal agents in high-risk operations, the hardest part of a shooting is everything that happens before the trigger. SiNTRES scenarios cover progressive use of force, tactical judgment, crisis response, the assertion of authority and communication — and are designed to increase dialogue in the classroom and sharpen critical thinking.

Agencies such as the Paraná Military Police and the Paraíba Military Police, among others, already train with SiNTRES simulators.

The goal of SiNTRES training is to give every officer the technical capability and the emotional intelligence to handle the situations they face every day. That makes the simulator as useful in a police academy or in-service refresher course as on a tactical team: it does not only score hits, it lets instructors debrief decisions.

  • A ready-to-use content library of decision-making scenarios plus CGI scenarios for instinctive, tactical and practical shooting
  • Lethal and less-lethal options, low light and tactical flashlights
  • Moving people, hostages and bystanders in the line of fire
  • Record your own scenarios to match local procedures

Why live rounds matter in a simulator

Laser training with pneumatic recoil kits forces officers to reacquire the sight picture, but it does not reproduce the impact of a real round. The SiNTRES hybrid simulator closes that gap: officers fire live ammunition from their unmodified service weapon directly into dynamic scenarios, under real stress, and the scenario reacts as it would to laser fire.

Special police operations units such as BOPE São Paulo train with SiNTRES hybrid live fire. Between live sessions, the same system switches back to laser for continuous zero-cost training.

Statewide reach, flexible engagement

Statewide reach

Police forces are spread across large territories. Portable simulators move with one instructor in a small vehicle, and the embedded simulator built for the Military Police of Paraíba — a 7.5 m truck that opens into a 35 m² room for 8 shooters — brings capital-level training to the most remote detachments. Installation and operator training happen at your headquarters, with nationwide technical support.

Training as a service

For force-on-force exercises, SiNTRES can supply all the equipment plus a trained opposing force for hostage, kidnapping, riot, armed-robbery and cash-in-transit scenarios. Your unit applies its tactics without knowing how the OPFOR will react, with no equipment purchase and a full after-action review.

Questions

Police simulator FAQ

Can officers train with their own duty weapon and live ammunition?

Yes. The hybrid simulator recognizes live rounds fired directly at the projection screen from the officer's unmodified service weapon. The self-healing screen is rated for up to 4,000 rounds per m² (about 85,000 per roll).

Does the simulator support use-of-force and less-lethal training?

Yes. Scenarios are built around the progressive use of force, with lethal and less-lethal options. The portable simulator supports Taser, OC spray and baton, and VERTEX adds low-light scenarios with tactical flashlights.

Is it suitable for police academies and recruit training?

Yes. Scenarios are designed to increase dialogue in the classroom, and the instructor controls the exercise from a tablet. Individual and group reports and after-action review support the debrief of each trainee.

How are qualification results recorded?

The hybrid simulator issues PDF reports with score, shot times, split times, target, distance, weapon and caliber. On SiNTRES TraX live-fire lanes, results are recorded per shooter for qualification, reports and after-action review.

Can we train building entry and active-shooter response?

Yes. The shoot-house variant links up to 5 rooms run by one operator, for building clearing, hostage search and active-shooter-in-schools drills, where the outcome in one room drives the scenario in the next.
