Description du projet
Recourir à la réalité virtuelle pour former les policiers aux interventions d’urgence
Les agents de police sont généralement les premiers membres du personnel d’urgence à arriver sur les lieux d’une situation à risque élevé ou de crise. Une préparation efficace à la gestion de ces situations d’urgence est donc vitale. Bien souvent, les policiers sont contraints de prendre des décisions dans des contextes dangereux à enjeux élevés sur la base d’informations ambiguës et dans des délais très serrés. Le projet SHOTPROS, financé par l’UE, étudiera l’impact des facteurs humains psychologiques et contextuels sur la prise de décision dans les situations opérationnelles à haut risque. Il utilisera la réalité virtuelle pour mesurer l’impact de ces facteurs et concevoir de meilleurs modules de formation pour les policiers. Son objectif est d’améliorer leur performance globale en situation de stress et de minimiser le recours à la force tout en maximisant la sécurité.
Objectif
The number of incidents where police officers are first responders in critical situations with severe threat circumstances has drastically increased. A major challenge for these first responding officers is to properly evaluate the situation and decide how to further proceed and to assess and choose the most appropriate strategy. The appropriateness of this decision is highly critical as it has a strong impact on the potential success of the operation as well as on the potential impacts, scene environment (e.g. witnesses, involved civilians, etc.) and consequences.
So the SHOTPROS project aims to investigate the influence of psychological and contextual human factors (HFs) on the behaviour of decision-making and acting (DMA) of police officers under stress and in high-risk operational situations in order to design better training for police officers to improve DMA Performance. SHOTPROS will develop a Virtual Reality (VR) solution to experimentally assess the degree to which these factors influence DMA behaviour. Subsequently the project will develop a HF-rooted training curriculum and a corresponding VR training solution to provide a comprehensive framework for practical training for decision-making and acting under stress and in high-risk (DMA-SR) situations in order to improve performance.The training will increase DMA-SR performance which will lead to better and more correct decisions (from several perspectives, e.g. law, ethic, etc.), to keep the guidance in threatened situations, to minimise use of force occurrences, and accordingly, to maximise the avoidance of casualties and collateral damage, such as panic and cascading or escalating effects.
SHOTPROS involves 6 law enforcement agencies (LEA) as it sees the capabilities of effective, efficient and “correct” DMA-SR of police forces as an utmost important part of a European Security Model and a high need for the daily combat against crime, terrorism, CBRNe threats and radicalisms.
