Dr. Ben Stickle

Deputy Christian Salter of the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office demonstrates the use of Apex Officer, the top virtual reality training simulator built by police officers for law enforcement agencies. The virtual training will be studied by Middle Tennessee State University Criminal Justice Administration professor Ben Stickle as part of a Bureau of Justice Assistance grant he co-authored for the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office that garnered $685,730 to be used over a three-year period. MTSU will receive $315,445 in partnership with the project for research.
