Recently, the East Ridge Police Department secured city council approval (Citizen Portal for article) for purchasing a laser-based training simulator—at a remarkable price of just $38,030, far below the usual $90,000 range. This could transform how they train their officers—shifting from limiting reliance on neighboring departments to mobile, customizable, and cost-effective training solutions 

The new setup enables firearms and judgemental training using a laptop and projector—displaying interactive scenario content like active shooter or burglary simulations.  No expensive range, no fixed setup—just real-world training that travels where officers train.

Why Laser Ammo Products Make Perfect Sense

Laser Ammo delivers tactical training systems built for agencies, even those facing limited budgets, staffing, and facility access—exactly the constraints East Ridge PD was facing. 

Here's what makes our offerings a smart choice:

• Solutions like CQB in a Box, Shot Body System, and the Smokeless Range® simulator - they are portable, customizable, and packed with scenario-based training flexibility.

• Units can train with duty weapons, using the SureStrikeMAG or Flashbolt or recoil-enabled firearms that mimic their duty pistols.

• The systems allow realistic drills for drawing, sight alignment, trigger control, reloads, transitions, movement, and more—building muscle memory in a safe, repeatable way.

• They don’t require ongoing software licensing/monthly fees or subscriptions, making them cost-effective—critical for smaller agencies.

• Laser Ammo stands behind these tools with dedicated support and mission-focused design for law enforcement and military use.

These systems are equally applicable for military and government teams—delivering scalable training solutions that can adapt to various mission sets and training environments.
