From Sim to Street: Discover the Realities of Policing
Patrol Ready is an innovative training and development platform designed to give potential Garda recruits, students, and serving officers a true-to-life insight into frontline policing.
Whether you are preparing for a career in An Garda Síochána, exploring public safety, or seeking professional growth inside the force - Patrol Ready offers the most realistic, hands-on introduction and progression pathway available outside the job itself.
Patrol Ready builds on the success of the Irish Emergency Services Roleplay Community (IESRPC), which for nearly 10 years has recreated Irish emergency services online.
The results speak for themselves:
11 members have joined An Garda Síochána
Many more have pursued public service careers
Now, Patrol Ready takes the next step — bringing the experience from simulation to patrol, from virtual to real-world immersive training.
Our flagship programme is a 3 to 5-day immersive course designed to simulate life as a Garda in real-world scenarios.
Skills developed through Patrol Ready extend far beyond policing:
Communication under pressure
Leadership and decision-making
Crisis management and de-escalation
Teamwork in high-stress environments
Understanding of law enforcement protocols
Continue Your Journey Online
After the in-person course, participants can stay engaged with IESRPC online training and mentoring. Many go on to take leadership roles in the community, guiding others who are exploring emergency service careers.
