Overview
Appropriates $1,000,000 from the Peace Officer Training Equipment Fund (Fund) to the State
Treasurer to purchase training simulators in FY 2024.
History
A V-300 is a decision-making and firearms training simulator. The V-300 simulator portrays true-
to-life situations taken from actual events based on case law and after-action reports (VirTra
Website).
The Fund receives monies from a $4 assessment on civil traffic violations, local motor vehicle
citations and criminal motor vehicle citations (A.R.S. §§ 12-114; 12-116.08). In FY 2019,
$3,073,000 was legislatively appropriated from the Fund for various purposes. Of those monies,
$2,300,000 was used for 10 virtual firing ranges and 3 virtual training simulators (JLBC FY 2022
Appropriations Report, DPS).
