Ohio University’s Voinovich Academy for Excellence in Public Service, a program of Ohio University’s Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs, is building a virtual reality program for Appalachian law enforcement agencies and officers to build public trust and safety which should deploy this summer.
John Born, executive-in-residence at the Voinovich School and Scripps College of Communication, said law enforcement leaders in southeast Ohio will be working as advisory groups to develop content and input from diverse perspectives.
“I spent 32 plus years in public safety and law enforcement. In all of those years, I’ve gotten pretty familiar with law enforcement and public safety, and I have not personally witnessed something so impactful as what virtual reality can deliver,” Born said.
