Absolute Exhibits has donated about $40,000 in reusable exhibit materials to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) for emergency-response training at the Joint Emergency Training Institute (JETI).
The donated wall systems and furniture now help create reconfigurable rooms inside JETI’s tactical training village. Officers use the spaces for room-clearing, emergency-entry, and crisis-response exercises.
In one setup, trainers used the panels to build a simulated school with classrooms and connecting hallways. The layout allows officers to practice their response to active-threat situations in a school setting.
Exhibit Materials Get a Second Use
Absolute Exhibits operates one of its two U.S. manufacturing facilities in Las Vegas. Rather than retire the materials at the end of their exhibit life, the company redirected them to the training campus.
The modular components allow JETI instructors to change layouts and recreate different settings officers may encounter in the field.
“At Absolute Exhibits, we believe in supporting the communities where we live and work. When we saw an opportunity to repurpose quality materials to benefit JETI and the officers who train there, it was an easy decision. We’re proud to help strengthen our community while extending the life of materials that still have meaningful value,” said Todd Koren, CEO, Absolute Exhibits.
Donation Supports Reality-Based Training
JETI opened in 2024 as LVMPD’s reality-based training campus for first responders.
“The donated furniture and wall systems help us create realistic training scenarios that better prepare new recruits and current officers for the challenges they may face in the field,” said Sergeant Garth Findley, Reality Based Training Section, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and Joint Emergency Training Institute. “By enhancing the functionality and authenticity of our training spaces, this support directly contributes to the development of skilled, confident, and well-prepared law enforcement professionals.”
