Annual certification serves an important purpose by validating operator competency at a specific point in time. Ongoing VR drill training complements certification by providing repeated opportunities to build and maintain critical TASER energy weapon skills throughout the year. With each VR drill taking just 2 to 5 minutes, the challenge is less about finding more training time and more about building a consistent training rhythm.
Axon’s 2026 VR TASER Range Training Playbook brings together Axon field performance data, published motor learning science and studies of agencies using VR in the field. It provides four practical recommendations to help trainers decide when to schedule practice, which modules to prioritize and how to focus training on the skills officers need most.

Why agencies should consider incorporating supplemental VR TASER energy weapon drill training throughout the year
Why VR TASER energy weapon training drills build and maintain critical skills
Why sustained VR TASER energy weapon drill training is associated with approximately 15% fewer ineffective deployments
How to organize VR TASER energy weapon drills around three skill areas: hitting the target zone, getting on target quickly, and handling incomplete connections
Whether you lead training, coordinate certification or manage a TASER energy weapon program, this playbook offers a practical framework for turning short VR sessions into a consistent, skills-based training rhythm.
