I-Sim Awarded Driving Simulator Contract for San Jose Police Department

    SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 2 -- I-Sim Corporation, a leading
developer and manufacturer of driving-simulation equipment, today announced it
has signed an agreement with the San Jose Police Department to construct four
PatrolSim(TM) driving simulators for the department's officer training.
    The PatrolSim Driving Simulator uses I-Sim's state-of-the-art simulation
technology to provide a highly realistic training environment.  The open-seat
driving station in the PatrolSim incorporates I-Sim's vehicle dynamics, preset
and user-programmable traffic scenarios and sophisticated road surface
software to ensure a true-to-life experience for drivers of all abilities.
    "We chose I-Sim as our simulator provider because of their quality design
and competent staff," said Lieutenant David Babineau, training manager of the
San Jose Police Department.  "The three-screen design of the PatrolSim caused
drastically less dizziness and motion sickness in drivers than other driving
simulators usually cause.  For us this was a major consideration, because if
we can't keep people in the seat, then we can't train them.  We also found
I-Sim's graphics and scenarios to be superior to any others we considered."
    I-Sim was approved by the Commission of Police Officer Standards and
Training (POST) to be a driving simulator provider for California law
enforcement agencies.  By exceeding the standards set by POST for
simulator-based training, I-Sim now qualifies as a preferred vendor for
police, emergency vehicle and municipal agencies throughout the state of
California.
    "In working closely with the San Jose Police Department, we were able to
assess their needs and offer them the technology they need to create a
successful training program for their officers," said Reg Welles, president
and CEO of I-Sim.  "We look forward to a long and productive relationship with
them."
    "I-Sim's team of presenters was composed of developers, hardware and
software specialists, and sales representatives," Lieutenant Babineau said.
"The staff was able to respond accurately and honestly to all of our
questions.  They even accepted our suggestions and will apply them to our
finished product.  We truly feel as if our relationship with I-Sim is a
partnership."
    Founded in 1849, the San Jose Police Department is celebrating its
150th anniversary this year.  The department employs 1,800 sworn members and
civilians and trains officers in entry level, range and in-service training.
The San Jose Police Department was one of the original test sites for the
simulator project in 1984 and was the first police department to recognize
linked training.
    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
