The first Virtual Reality Training Center (CERV) in Latin America is committed to improving the assessment of police officers and analyzing agent performance data.

Within the virtual environment, professionals will participate in simulations of what a police officer's routine is like in a physical environment. Using virtual reality glasses, police officers will experience day-to-day practices without needing to use a firearm or firing a shot.
Mexico is a pioneer in Latin America in the use of the metaverse by police forces
The secretary of Security Omar García Harfuch commented at the inauguration that CERV “allows, through analytical data, to measure and correct failures, to achieve the improvement of tactics, always in compliance with human rights. Tools like these allow us to provide better training with efficient use of resources, as ammunition use is reduced and accidents are also reduced.”
In the environment, the police can create and recreate everyday scenes and interact with avatars, just as happens in an investigation or when engaged in the physical world. The secretary also added that the action is pioneering:

“This technology is currently unique in Latin America, this system is only used by three police officers in the United States, in addition to the Israel Police. With this investment and the development of this training center, we consolidate not only on the path to being the best police force in the country, but also as the best police training institution”
The action aims to improve police performance in Mexico City, but, in addition, it tends to be a reference for other cities in the country, which is the fourth with the most violent deaths per hundred thousand inhabitants in the world. The data are from United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime or United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
