With the backing of the United Nations Development Program, the educational complex of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has recently integrated new equipment to facilitate practical training in virtual reality. These training sessions primarily focus on scenario-based exercises, aiming to acquaint criminal police officers with the overall logic of crime scenes within the virtual domain. The skills acquired during these virtual exercises are intended to be applied in subsequent real-world practical activities.

“For over three years, the Ministry of Internal Affairs educational complex has been dedicated to prioritizing practical training within the educational system. In this context, we collaborate closely with all our international partners,” stated Manuk Muradyan, Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs educational complex. While these educational modules primarily focus on criminal police training, the ongoing advancements within the Ministry of Internal Affairs educational complex underscore the necessity for the widespread integration of such cutting-edge technologies in the overall organization of education.

“We have executed numerous initiatives as part of the project. Initially, we conducted a comprehensive functional assessment of the educational complex, resulting in the integration of educational modules equipped with new technologies. It’s noteworthy that our collaboration extends to the Spanish ‘Guardia Civil,” as highlighted by Davit Harutyunyan, Head of the Police Reform Program at the UNDP Armenia office.

By the end of the year, it is planned to introduce a new scenario module for traffic accidents. This will allow the patrol service as well to use advanced technologies in their operations.
