The Hong Kong Police College (HKPC) has always endeavoured to leverage technology to expand training capacity and optimise learning outcome. In the Brandon Hall Group Excellence in Technology Award Program 2021, HKPC’s Detective Boulevard (DB), Disaster Victim Post-mortem Information System, Driving Simulator and Virtual Reality in Police Training won several Gold and Silver Awards. HKPC’s immersive scenario training systems, Studio ImmerXe and DB, further won the Bronze award in Learning Technologies Awards 2022 under the category of Best use of Simulations or Virtual Environments for Learning. Both items are independent and industry leading awards competed by many international companies and organisations. These awards have marked a milestone for the Force to be recognised in the world of learning technologies.
Studio ImmerXe is a projecting system located at the Force Library that projects 3D panoramic imagery on a cylindrical screen to create a lifelike and immersive 360-degree environment. It facilitates regular group scenario training by HKPC, Police Tactical Unit and Complaints Against Police Office. DB is an immersive and interactive VR visualisation system delivering seamless 3D view of crime scenes located at Detective Training Centre. The new generation of DB incorporates an innovative solution enabling flexible, user-defined and economic ways of setting various crime scenes of different nature to enable scenario-based scene assessment and crime investigation.
HKPC will continue to support Strategic Directions by embracing the innovative use of technologies in the realm of police training to achieve more effective training results.
