The Gold Standard for Critical Incident training and debriefing
Established leaders
Hydra have set up almost 100 suites, run thousands of simulations and held over 400 debriefing sessions.
We are fully integrated with the UK police training curriculum. Hydra is used as a required part of various national training curriculums, such as Firearms Command, Public Order Command and Hostage Negotiations.
10kV is established as the trusted and go-to method for debriefing critical incidents. We have run sessions for high profile crises such as the London bombings, the Soham murders, Covid 19, Local Resilience Forums and numerous other high profile incidents. Debriefing sessions are run either at a venue or remotely using 10kv.cloud methodologies

Decisions logs recorded
In addition to specific learning points I feel I'm growing in confidence to be able to challenge the norm and introduce more emotion into how I consider things eg my suggestions to the "what matters" map of instinct and understanding what matters to others. I've always held these views but I feel they have been diluted over the years
The IT system is an excellent tool to create a mock situation. It has really given me the opportunity to project myself at the strategic level. At the same time, the exercise has showed me the difference of sensibility to the events between English and French point of view.
Really good session and very valuable learning. The interaction via Ipad is brilliant. Would love to run it more often and remotely and maybe even use it as part of PNAC selection
Free for UK Emergency services
We are proud to offer our services free to UK emergency services. This includes all UK Regional training centres for Fire and Police and the UK National Crime Agency and UK College of Policing.
We donate the Hydra software, assist with creating the scenarios, run 10kV sessions and compile analytical reports on the data, although more in depth reports may require funding for our team of university researchers.
It is our way of giving back to the services that have done so much for us and our families.
We offer five core services
Hydra simulation suites
We build bespoke Hydra suites and create credible immersive simulations for your teams, complete with scenarios based around realistic events. We train your delivery teams to be self sufficient in both the design and delivery of exercises. We also run Hydra Facilitators accredited courses to ensure that exercises are delivered to the highest standards.

Hydra - Presence
These methods were originally developed at the request of the Metropolitan Police in London. Over the last 30 years we have run an enormous amount of simulations and debriefs, giving the Hydra Foundation a unique experience in training emergency services.
