I-Sim Wins PatrolSim Driving Simulator Order From San Antonio Police Department

I-Sim Wins PatrolSim Driving Simulator Order From San Antonio Police Department
    SALT LAKE CITY, July 27 -- I-Sim Corporation, a leading
developer and manufacturer of driving-simulation equipment, today announced it
has signed an agreement with the San Antonio Police Department to construct a
PatrolSim(TM) driving simulator for the department.  The system will be
installed and ready for training in early September.
    I-Sim's PatrolSim is a new high-performance driving simulator that
incorporates much of the sophistication of I-Sim's Century Series at a
sub-$100,000 price point.  The PatrolSim simulator is designed specifically
for training police and other law enforcement officers in highly realistic
scenarios.  I-Sim's driving simulators allow police to practice, rehearse and
train in a wide variety of situations, including rural, highway, suburban, and
city environments.  Geo-specific environments can also duplicate actual local
streets and intersections to put officers in a virtual version of their own
city or town.  In addition, weather and traffic conditions can be programmed
to match conditions comparable to those found in the surrounding area.
    "Many of the high-end capabilities available with our Century series
simulators can also be found in our new PatrolSim series systems," said
Reg Welles, CEO of I-Sim.  "The new PatrolSim allows police departments and
other training organizations to purchase a high-value simulator at a more
affordable price."
    Using the PatrolSim, police officers can safely train in situations that
range from high-speed freeway pursuits to gridlock traffic in city streets.
The PatrolSim series simulator is capable of networking up to 10 simulators
simultaneously in order to train officers in assisted scenarios.  Such
simulator training affords more consistent and repeatable training without
putting people or equipment at risk.
    "Naturally, better trained officers reduce the risk of accidents," Welles
said.  "Furthermore, simulator-based training is a more effective and more
cost-efficient method of driving training."
    "We selected I-Sim over the other driving simulator vendors after
extensive research and testing," said Earnest Trevino, driving instructor for
the San Antonio Police Department.  "I-Sim's PatrolSim simulator represents
the best buy in terms of high performance and affordable pricing.  In
addition, our calls to existing I-Sim customers confirm I-Sim's reputation for
quality products and follow-through support after the sale."
    Headquartered in Salt Lake City, I-Sim Corporation is a leading developer
of high-performance wheeled-vehicle simulators for driver training in the law
enforcement, trucking, military, research and emergency-vehicle markets.
I-Sim's simulators provide highly realistic driving experiences without the
risk and expense associated with real-world training.  For more information
