Robbery Hydra – The Investigation Starts Here
Step into the role of a police officer and take control of a live investigation.
Enter USW’s immersive Hydra Simulation Suite and respond to a serious robbery near the University’s Glyntaff Campus. From the moment the incident unfolds, you and your team make the decisions. Using realistic video, audio, witness accounts and CCTV evidence, you’ll experience how an investigation develops in real time. You’ll manage the crime scene, identify and record evidence, question witnesses and follow emerging lines of enquiry as you work to uncover what happened — and who was responsible.
Put your investigative skills into practice as you:
· Respond to a developing robbery investigation
· Manage and protect the crime scene
· Search for, identify and evaluate evidence
· Question witnesses and build an account
· Analyse CCTV and other emerging information
· Make decisions as a team and justify your actions
· Follow the evidence to identify the suspect
This is not a traditional classroom session. The investigation develops around the decisions you make.You’ll also leave with copies of your completed witness account and scene/evidence logs, providing useful material that can support your studies back at school or college.
