Overview
Street Smarts VR builds immersive virtual reality training platforms for law enforcement, military, and private security. The platform delivers scenario-based training through VR modules that can be customized to an organization’s needs, sold on a subscription basis with pricing tiers by user count and level of customization, and complemented by consulting to help integrate VR into existing training programs. What sets Street Smarts VR apart is its veteran-led team—many with real-world law enforcement and military experience—and the status as a service-disabled veteran-owned small business, which informs practical, field-tested training content and a community-focused approach. The company’s goal is to improve performance and safety for trainees and, by extension, the communities they protect, by bridging traditional training with realistic, immersive VR experiences.
