AR Training · course 2 of 3

The patrol round nobody can check afterwards

A round takes forty minutes. What actually happened in those forty minutes usually rests on one thing: the officer's word. A clock-in at the guard house is not a patrol.

This is the AR simulation form of the basic programme Provide Guard and Patrol Services. The officer stands at a real checkpoint, scans the site marker with their own phone. The AR layer draws what belongs to that point: the checkpoint to clock, the door to test, the barrier and the tailgating risk. Six decisions, one correct answer each, immediate feedback, an 80 per cent house standard. A training record written per officer with the five fields the checklist reads.

The scenario

Night patrol, checkpoint clocking and access control (commercial building)

A night round is forty minutes of walking and four decisions that matter. Which checkpoints you clocked. Whether the door you tested was still secure when you left it. Who walked in behind a resident at the barrier. Whether the key box matched the register at handover. The rest of the round is the job; those four are the record.

What makes patrol training weak is that it is mostly talk. The officer is told to test the doors; nobody stands at the third-floor exit while they do it. The result is a round that gets walked properly when a supervisor is on site and clocked from the guard house when one is not.

Here the round is the training area. A marker is printed and fixed at each checkpoint. When the officer scans it, the checkpoint, the route and the escalation prompt lock onto the real point in front of them. The six decisions are the ones that go wrong on a quiet shift: the checkpoint that gets faked, the tailgater who is let through politely, the shortfall in the key box at handover.

The six decisions are the ones that actually go wrong on a quiet shift. They are, in the order the run puts them:

  • Taking over the shift from the post orders and the book
  • Clocking at the checkpoint you are standing at, in order
  • Challenging a tailgater at the barrier
  • Counting keys against the register at handover
  • A defect found on the round: close it, log it, raise it
  • Handing the post over when relief is late

What changes, and for whom

Three people, three different changes

For the officer

The round is shown at the post

Scanning the checkpoint marker puts the drill where the work happens. At that door, that barrier, that riser room — instead of in a briefing room before the shift.

For the supervisor

Skipped checkpoints lose their cover

The training puts the rule where it belongs: clock the point you are standing at, in order, at the time. A supervisor can then audit a round against a standard the officer has actually been drilled on.

For the client

Fewer surprises in the monthly report

Barrier, access and key control are the three things a building manager complains about. They are drilled here, with the reasons attached.

These are descriptions of the work the training addresses. They are not client results and not a promised saving.

What the officer does, in order

One run, start to record

About ten minutes at the post, on the officer's own phone, with a supervisor on site.

Print the checkpoint markers

Each checkpoint of the course gets its own marker. Print them, put them at the real points, and the site becomes the training area.

Scan and start

The officer scans the marker at the first point. The AR layer anchors the checkpoint, the route and the escalation prompt onto the live camera image.

Walk the six decisions

Clocking, tailgating, key control, a defect found on the round, and the handover — each one four options, one correct, feedback immediately.

Sign the record

Name, last four characters of NRIC or FIN, provider, course title, date. Plus the score, the site and the time on task, kept in the agency's own record.

Export the trainee list

The list comes out with exactly the five checklist fields, in the checklist's order, ready for the assessment slot.

The trainee list

The run is written to the agency's list in the five fields the checklist reads.

This page is the course. The run itself is on the player: open the scenario - the practice run needs no camera.

A completed run produces one row, in these five fields

The trainee list is what the assessment reads, so it carries exactly the five fields the checklist names - not a summary, not an attendance sheet.

The five fields a SACE assessor reads, plus the score and the time on task kept in the agency's own record.
FieldWhat it carries
NameAs written in the agency's own staff record. Nothing else is stored about the officer.
NRIC / FINThe last four characters only. The full number is never entered and never leaves the phone.
Training providerWhichever name the checklist route puts here: the agency's own name when the agency delivers the training in-house, or the service provider's name when a provider delivers it - in that case the checklist also asks the agency to submit the provider's invoice showing simulation training was used. The field is left blank on purpose: it is typed, not assumed.
Course titleStates the technology: the training programme or session plus Augmented Reality (AR) Simulation Training.
Date of trainingThe date the run was completed, written from the device at the time of the run.

The score, the scenario, the site and the time on task stay with the agency's record. A failed run is a re-run, not a mark against an officer - the house standard is 80 per cent, which is a fair bar for six decisions, and what counts here is the run that is completed and recorded - not a mark against anyone.

What this package does not claim

The limits, stated on the page rather than found later

Every course here is honest about what it is and what it is not, because a package that oversells itself is the one that lets an agency down in front of an assessor. Read these before you book anything.

  • This is a training and evidence product. It does not replace the agency's post orders, its patrol route as agreed with the client, or the WSQ certificate each officer must hold.
  • The checkpoint markers are printed codes. If a client will not allow anything on the walls, the markers can be held on a lanyard card and shown to the camera instead.
  • The AR runs on the phone's browser. An officer without a phone camera can still be trained, but not with this format. Say so to the assessor rather than putting a name on a list.

Questions about this course

Straight answers

Can the AR be wrong about the checkpoints?
The markers are the agency's own: you print the codes that come with the course, or you ask for codes named after your own checkpoints. The AR layer draws the guidance the course was written with. It does not invent a checkpoint that is not in the site's own list.
Does this replace the WSQ patrol training?
No, and it is not meant to. The WSQ certificate is the licence requirement and it stays where it is. This is the in-house simulation package that gives an agency its own evidence, on its own sites, in its own language.
What if an officer fails?
They re-run it. The pass standard is eighty per cent on a six-decision drill. A failed run is a reason to run it again with a supervisor standing there — which is what a fair training standard is for.
Is the site's data anywhere near this?
No client data is needed to run it and none is collected for it. The record holds the officer's own training result. What may be written into any tool at all is the agency's own written rule, and that rule is written before any workflow is built.

Course 2 of 3 · Provide Guard and Patrol Services

Run it on your site before your officers do

Fix one marker at the real point, open the player on a phone, and see whether the overlay holds where your officers actually stand. That is a fair test, and it takes three minutes.
