Police Rapid Environment & Scenario Platform
PREP is developing a system that allows police officers to create and run a realistic training or operational scenario in an immersive 3D environment within an hour. Using AI, realistic crowd simulations and up-to-date environmental data, officers can practise and evaluate quickly and effectively. It also allows them to prepare for a wide range of situations, such as events, incidents or large-scale operations. The project investigates the technical and operational feasibility of this rapid scenario generation, with the aim of making police work more agile, safer and better prepared.

CGI Indoor Explorer
CGI Indoor Explorer provides situational awareness during first responder operations by using IX to create a single, integrated, shared view of the situation in real time and in 3D. First responders are equipped with a 3D sensor that tracks their position and maps their surroundings. This view is monitored remotely in real time, offering value to the police and, by extension, to the Netherlands. CGI Indoor Explorer is being developed at CGI as an innovation project. This feasibility study examines the commercial potential of this innovation and its operational value for the Netherlands Police. The aim is to close the gap between innovation and actual deployment.
Scenebrook Haalbaarheidsonderzoek Interactieve XR-Trainingsscenario’s
The project explores whether Scenebrook can be extended with features that let the Netherlands Police develop VR training scenarios faster and more accurately. We're testing three things: automatically converting geo-data into realistic 3D environments, building complex, police-specific scenarios without requiring technical expertise, and measuring learning outcomes in VR. The aim is to determine whether this would allow the Netherlands Police to create realistic, up-to-date and easily adaptable training for situations that are difficult to practise physically.
SIMplify-XR, een AI-gestuurde VR-trainingsomgeving
Improvive wants to help the Netherlands Police create training scenarios more quickly for approaching suspicious individuals at large-scale events. This should result in a training in VR or Mixed Reality. Until now, 3D environments and scenarios have been designed by specialists. Improvive wants to simplify this with an AI-driven design assistant, combined with existing digital tools. The AI assistant guides the creator step by step through designing a training. This way, the police can build scenarios that match real-world situations simply and independently.
AI-Avatar
Police officers are constantly confronted with unexpected situations that require them to act quickly, provide assistance and gather information. Realistic training is essential for this, but it's expensive, time-consuming and hard to scale. With an AI avatar – a digital, human-like figure driven by artificial intelligence – officers can practise realistic scenarios using VR headsets. The avatar switches flexibly between roles such as suspect, witness, victim or colleague, responding naturally to the officer. This allows officers to train their communication, judgement and decision-making in a safe, true-to-life environment, making it easier, more efficient and more scalable to practise for unpredictable situations.
Planning & Real-time IX Scenario Maker
PRISM is an AI-supported VR scenario builder that lets police officers with no technical background build and adapt realistic environments and scenarios. Using voice commands and simple building blocks, they can recreate past incidents and prepare for new situations, for example crowd control or threat scenarios. The tool drastically cuts the development time for XR training and makes it possible to share and reuse scenarios nationwide. In phase 1, the team is investigating the technical feasibility, user acceptance and economic viability of a proof of concept for this AI-driven IX scenario builder.
T.O.A.R.
This project explores the feasibility of an innovative Augmented Reality (AR) solution that makes police work safer and more efficient. Cronos B.V. is developing a concept for smart glasses that provide officers in the field with a contextual heads-up display (HUD) and an interactive 3D map. This system translates complex operational data into a direct tactical advantage, helping officers stay better informed and respond faster. The feasibility study validates the technical design, the user experience with the Netherlands Police, and the integration possibilities for the future.
