The JIBC is the only post-secondary institution in the world using Hydra software that was acquired from Scotland Yard. The software uses specialized audio and video that gives responders a chance to deal with realistic, life and death training scenarios in the applied learning lab. The building also houses a simulation lab with enough space to put on physical training scenarios like riots, car accidents and rappelling exercises.
