AR Training · course 3 of 3
An unattended bag, someone photographing the barriers, a car that does not move for an hour. The officer's part is observation and reporting — and the mistakes in that part are made by doing too much, not too little.
This is the AR simulation form of the basic programme Recognise Terrorist Threat. The officer scans the site marker. The AR layer anchors the observation point, the safe distance and the reporting prompt onto the live camera image: unattended item, hostile reconnaissance, suspicious vehicle and a vehicle-ramming threat. Six decisions, one correct answer each, immediate feedback, an 80 per cent house standard. The training record written per officer in the five fields the checklist reads.

The scenario
The officer is the first person on a site to notice something that does not fit. A bag with nobody near it. A man photographing the barrier for the third night. A van parked with its engine running for an hour. What happens next is a very short list of actions, and most of the mistakes are made by doing too much rather than too little.
Two halves to this, and both are trained here. The first is what to do. Keep your distance and do not touch. Watch from a post instead of walking up to it. Call 999 for an immediate threat, and tell the Command Centre at the same time. The second is what to say: place, description, numbers, direction. An observation that turns into a guess is worse than no report, because somebody acts on it.
The third thing the course is strict about is what may never appear in a log entry about a person. Behaviour, place and time are facts an investigation can use. Appearance and opinion are neither, and an officer who writes them has handed the agency a liability. That rule is drilled, not mentioned in passing.
The six decisions are the ones that actually go wrong on a quiet shift. They are, in the order the run puts them:
What changes, and for whom
For the officer
There is no percentage in being brave near an unattended item. The drill is explicit about distance, radio discipline and who goes first. And it is written so an officer can act on it alone at 3am.
For the supervisor
What an officer notices matters more than what an officer concludes. The drill trains description — where, when, how many, which direction — so a supervisor has something to pass up the line.
For the client
The client's tenants and residents are the ones standing next to it. A team drilled on the first ninety seconds is the part of the site's response that is actually under the agency's control.
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
About ten minutes at the post, on the officer's own phone, with a supervisor on site.
Print the markers and put them where an officer would stand to see the approach, the drop-off and the barrier. The course runs from those points.
Scanning the marker anchors the observation arc, the safe distance and the reporting prompt onto the live camera image.
Unattended item, reconnaissance, a vehicle that stays, a vehicle that accelerates, the reporting call, and what may never appear in a log.
Name, last four characters of NRIC or FIN, provider, course title, date — with the score and time on task in the agency's own record.
Exactly the five checklist fields, in the checklist's order, ready for the assessment slot.
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.
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.
| Field | What it carries |
|---|---|
| Name | As written in the agency's own staff record. Nothing else is stored about the officer. |
| NRIC / FIN | The last four characters only. The full number is never entered and never leaves the phone. |
| Training provider | Whichever 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 title | States the technology: the training programme or session plus Augmented Reality (AR) Simulation Training. |
| Date of training | The 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.
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.

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.
