Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify, synthesize, and discuss interactive video-based simulator usage and operationalization of performance in law enforcement performance research. Methods: Eleven databases were searched following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. The databases included the social, behavioral, forensic, and ergonomic sciences. Eligibility criteria included studies with performance metrics, law enforcement officers as participants, and contextual scenarios. Results: Critical aspects of simulator usage (i.e., scenario selection, handling the branching aspect of scenarios) were underreported which brings to question the generalizability of law enforcement performance research. A disproportionate amount of research favors shoot scenarios to don't-shoot scenarios which may unintentionally prime officers to expect the use of deadly force in an unrealistic manner. Performance metrics included cognitive, judgment and decision-making, marksmanship, psychophysiological, and process. Conclusions: Researchers could improve transparency and generalizability of their research by considering the findings from the current study and following the checklist we developed.
