TEMPE, Ariz., April 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VirTra, Inc. (Nasdaq:VTSI), a global provider of training simulators for the law enforcement, military, educational and commercial markets, today announced the company has received a new purchase order for its training simulators under the previously announced indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with the United States Department of State (DOS).
