Work Through Real-Life Situations
Explore the cutting-edge world of mobile simulation technology with MILO (Mobile Interactive Learning Object). Hawkeye Community College’s MILO system provides hands-on, immersive training in real-world scenarios, helping students develop critical thinking and practical skills in a controlled, safe environment. This advanced learning tool is designed to prepare students for high-stakes situations, bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-life application.
Bridging Classroom Learning with Real-Life Police Training
Students in the Police Science program get hands-on training in patrol procedures, traffic collision investigations, and criminal law, but some skills—like handling potentially violent situations—are hard to teach in a traditional classroom.
The MILO Range Technology fills this gap by connecting classroom learning with real-life scenarios. This virtual simulator helps students practice using:
- Handguns, long guns, and less-lethal projectiles
- Batons, tasers, and OC spray
- Handling return fire
With this advanced technology, students can now experience training that was once limited to lectures or off-campus shooting ranges, giving them practical experience to prepare for real-world situations.
