Scenario-based training through VR has the potential to improve operational efficiency. These scenarios are designed to replicate real-life events that officers may encounter in the field. It prepares them for the unseen dangers lurking around them. Instead of textbook cases, they can train in near-life like experiences, which is more effective.

By introducing Virtual Reality (VR) to crime scenes, the dilemma of not being able to visit the crime scene in its initial state could be addressed. This could be done by letting criminal investigators visit the crime scene virtually, and letting them decide where and how to view the scene in its initial state. In the forensic community VR is gaining attention and it is seen as a possible tool for visualizing crime scenes for different purposes.
