At Pervade Software, Security & Policing is a key event in our calendar. It provides a unique opportunity to engage directly with government, law enforcement, and international delegations who are actively seeking innovative cyber security solutions. Last year, we made full use of the Security & Policing app and portal to ensure we connected with the right audience ahead of the event.

In the lead-up to the exhibition, we used the portal’s visitor search functionality to identify individuals whose roles aligned closely with our strategic objectives. For Pervade, international engagement was a major focus, so we concentrated on key search terms such as international delegates, attachés, desk officers, and cyber security.

The platform made it straightforward to filter and review visitor profiles. By assessing job titles, departmental focus, and country representation, we were able to identify delegates who were well positioned to influence or implement cyber security solutions within their respective regions. Once identified, we favourited relevant profiles and reached out directly through the messaging function, inviting them to visit our stand during the event.

The response was extremely encouraging. We received a high volume of positive replies from officials keen to meet with us to better understand our software solutions and explore how they could be implemented within their countries.

As a direct result of using the Security & Policing portal, we engaged with representatives from over 20 countries last year alone. For a small technology company like Pervade Software, that level of international exposure and dialogue is invaluable. The platform enabled us to move beyond passive exhibition presence and instead create structured, high-quality engagements before the event even began.

For Pervade Software, it has become an integral part of our event strategy, helping us build meaningful international relationships and expand the global reach of our cyber security solutions.

A message from Dan Jarvis MBE MP, Minister of State for Security

I am delighted to welcome the global security community to the UK for what promises to be an exceptional Security & Policing 2026. I am looking forward to speaking at the event alongside my Ministerial colleagues and a wide range of senior decision-makers across Government and its agencies.

As Security Minister, I have the privilege of working with countless exceptional professionals who devote their days – and often their nights – to keeping our country safe. Events like Security & Policing provide an invaluable opportunity to bring together government, law enforcement and industry under one roof, to showcase the very best our security sector has to offer and to develop a deeper understanding of the incredible work it does to protect our nation and contribute to our prosperity.

A sector to be proud of

The UK security sector continues to go from strength to strength. The recently published UK Security Export Statistics for 2024 demonstrate just how well positioned British companies are in the global marketplace. Our sector directly employs around 148,000 people here in the UK, and security exports have tripled since 2016, rising from £4.3bn to £12.9bn.

These are not just numbers on a page. They represent thousands of skilled jobs, world-leading innovation and a tangible contribution to our national prosperity. When our security companies succeed internationally, it strengthens our economy and reinforces Britain’s reputation as a global leader in this vital field.

I am immensely proud to champion this sector, and I will continue to bat for British industry at every opportunity.

Security and prosperity: two sides of the same coin

This government’s first duty is to keep the country safe. National security underpins all our missions – from kickstarting economic growth to making our streets safer. Without security, we cannot build the Britain we want to see.

From hostile state activity to cyber criminals, from terrorism to serious organised crime, the challenges are interconnected and demand a joined-up response. That is precisely why we need government, law enforcement and industry working together as one security ecosystem.

I have seen this first-hand throughout my career – from my time serving in the Parachute Regiment and Special Forces Support Group, through to my years on the Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy, and now as Security Minister working across both the Home Office and Cabinet Office.

The lesson is always the same: we achieve more when we work together.

Looking forward to Security and Policing 2026

This brings me to why I am looking forward to Security & Policing 2026. The event is not simply a showcase. It is a window into the future of security.

Whether it is next-generation detection systems to protect our borders, sophisticated screening devices to safeguard public spaces, or cutting-edge tools to counter cyber threats, British industry is at the forefront of developing the solutions we need.

Recent events have shown us just how devastating cyber-attacks can be, and how vital it is that we invest in our defences.

Building an enduring partnership

Supporting economic growth is a core priority, and we are working closely with colleagues in the Department for Business and Trade and the security sector to strengthen the economy and develop the industries of the future. This requires a closer, deeper and more enduring partnership with the sector.

Security & Policing is organised by our Joint Security and Resilience Centre – the team at the heart of government’s relationship with the security industry. If you are attending the event, I would encourage you to engage with them. Tell them about your products, services and capabilities. Tell them what sets your solutions apart. If there are barriers to working with government, they want to know about them.

Exhibiting at Security & Policing 2026 provides unparalleled access to those shaping the UK’s security and resilience landscape. Exhibitors can hear directly from senior decision-makers on strategic priorities through keynotes and panel sessions, engage across Government and Innovation Zones, and connect with Home Office commercial and technology teams to better understand future programmes and opportunities.

The event also provides a unique platform to meet accredited international buyers, build global partnerships and showcase cutting-edge capabilities to the customers who matter most.

Together, we can unlock the full potential of this sector – strengthening security, driving innovation and supporting prosperity across the United Kingdom.

Security & Policing 2026 brings together those responsible for frontline delivery, technology innovation and strategic policy to consider how we collectively strengthen the UK’s security capabilities. For Home Office Biometrics (HOB), it is an opportunity to demonstrate how we continue to deliver reliable, mission critical services today while transforming with our partners for the challenges of tomorrow.

HOB enables the UK to capture, authenticate, verify, search and match individuals’ biometric to solve crime, protect borders, prevent terrorism and enable growth. We deliver capabilities to establish identity using fingerprint, DNA and facial image data that are fundamental to policing, immigration and national security.

Our services support over 50 organisations across law enforcement immigration services (including asylum, visas, the EU Settlement Scheme and passport issuance. HOB systems currently hold around 120 million biometric records, equating to approximately 85 million individuals, with some duplicate entries. This scale brings both a responsibility to deliver with accuracy and resilience in a way that strengthens trust and capability across the system.

Our work spans the full lifecycle of biometric identity:

  • Enrolling biometrics to reliably fix identity to an individual
  • Verifying that a person is who they are believed to be
  • Searching national and international datasets to support investigations and secure border
  • Supporting partners and suppliers to implement new technology and integrate effectively with our services

Throughout Security & Policing 2026, HOB colleagues will be available in the Government Zone to discuss ongoing work and demonstrate how the programme is modernising biometric services while maintaining continuity of essential national capabilities.

I will also be speaking on the Spotlight Stage on Thursday 12 March, from 10:00–10:30, where I will set out how we are balancing secure and reliable delivery today with the transformation required for the future. This includes how we are working with partners to embed responsible innovation, strengthen resilience and ensure our services meet the needs of those who depend on them every day.

Your insight, experience and challenge play a vital role in how we evolve.

I look forward to meeting many of you at the event and continuing our work together delivering today while transforming, in partnership, for tomorrow.

Graham Camm

Home Office Biometrics Programme Director

More information and detailed problem statements can be found on the exhibitors portal.

Every year at Security & Policing, we challenge ourselves to create something that goes beyond the traditional conference experience. The immersive isn’t just a demonstration or a walkthrough—it’s an opportunity for participants to step into the shoes of those working on the frontline of UK security.

Why we do it

The immersive experience exists because we believe the best way to understand complex security challenges is to live them, even if only for a short time.

Government, law enforcement and industry partners all attend Security & Policing with a shared goal: addressing the security challenges facing the UK. But reading about these challenges in a briefing paper or watching a presentation only takes you so far. The immersive puts you in the moment, facing incomplete information, time pressure, and difficult decisions- just as operational teams do every day.

It’s also about showcasing genuine collaboration. The immersive brings together government priorities and industry innovation in a way that reflects how these partnerships actually work in practice. When you see a piece of technology in action during the scenario, you’re seeing it applied to real-world problems.

What to expect in 2026: Operation Borderline – The Traffickers’ Trail

This year’s immersive focuses on border security and people trafficking—a priority that cuts across multiple departments and agencies. We’ve developed this experience in close partnership with the Border Security Command and a group of UK companies who are bringing their technologies into the scenario.

Participants will follow a people trafficking case from the first intelligence reports through to intervention. You’ll take on the role of a border security officer, receiving updates as the situation develops and making operational decisions as the narrative unfolds. This isn’t about watching from the sidelines—you’ll be actively engaged, seeing how intelligence, technology and teamwork combine to disrupt criminal networks and protect victims.

The scenario has been designed to reflect genuine operational realities. You’ll experience what it means to make decisions when the picture is still forming, and you’ll see how different capabilities—from intelligence analysis to detection technologies—contribute at each stage.

Built with Border Security Command

From the outset, we’ve worked hand in hand with the Border Security Command to ensure this year’s immersive reflects the real challenges facing the UK and our international partners. People trafficking is a global issue, with criminal networks operating across borders and exploiting vulnerabilities in systems worldwide. The scenario we’ve developed draws directly on the operational understanding and priorities of those tackling this threat every day.

By grounding the experience in genuine insights from Border Security Command, we’ve ensured that participants won’t just encounter a plausible scenario—they’ll be engaging with the kinds of decisions, pressures and complexities that frontline teams face as they work to disrupt trafficking networks and protect some of the most vulnerable people.

Who’s involved

We’re proud to be working with a number of UK companies who have helped bring this year’s immersive to life, including Airbox Systems, Blackdot Solutions Ltd, Claritas Insight Services Ltd, Foster+Freeman, KIM Software Solutions, NEC Software Solutions UK Ltd, and Zamna Technologies Ltd. Their involvement means participants will see real technologies applied within a realistic operational context.

Book your place

Security & Policing 2026 takes place from 10–12 March. Spaces for the immersive are limited, so if you’re attending the event and want to experience Operation Borderline: The Traffickers’ Trail, we’d encourage you to secure your slot early.

We look forward to seeing you there.

 

Registration for Security & Policing 2026 is now open – APPLY TO ATTEND

Security & Policing 2026 will bring together policing and law enforcement leaders, practitioners and partners to focus on the future of public safety and the capabilities that support it. As part of this year’s event, the Law Enforcement Data Service (LEDS) will play a central role in conversations about national data transformation and the transition from the Police National Computer (PNC).

Hear from three senior leaders involved in LEDS who share their perspectives on why Security & Policing 2026 matters, what colleagues can expect from the event, and why engagement from across the policing and law enforcement community is essential to shaping a modern, resilient and operationally relevant national data service.

Deputy Chief Constable Nav Malik, NPCC Lead for the Police National Computer (PNC) & LEDS encourages you to join the conversation at Security & Policing.

Security & Policing 2026 is an important opportunity for policing and law enforcement professionals to step back from day-to-day pressures and focus on the bigger picture — how we equip our people with the tools and information they need to protect the public.

As National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) lead for both the Police National Computer (PNC) and the Law Enforcement Data Service (LEDS), I’m acutely aware of how critical national data systems are to frontline and specialist operations. Every day, officers and staff rely on timely, accurate information to make decisions that affect public safety. The transition from PNC to LEDS is therefore one of the most significant changes in our national policing infrastructure in decades.

Security & Policing gives us the chance to speak openly about that journey — the progress we’ve made, the challenges we are managing, and the opportunities LEDS presents to improve how we access and use data across forces and agencies.

I’m delighted that LEDS will be exhibiting in the Government Zone throughout the event, providing a valuable opportunity for colleagues to engage directly with the team and learn more about what this transformation means in practice.

I would strongly encourage colleagues from across policing and law enforcement to attend. This is your opportunity to hear directly from programme leaders and to understand what’s coming next.

National capabilities like PNC and LEDS only succeed if they are informed by operational policing. Events like Security & Policing help ensure that connection remains strong.

I hope to see many of you there.

Emma Packenham, Director National Policing Systems (NPS), explains how Security & Policing is helping to shape the future of Law Enforcement data

Security & Policing 2026 at Farnborough provides a vital opportunity for policing and law enforcement partners to come together, share learning, and explore the technologies and capabilities that will define the future of public safety.

As Director National Policing Systems (NPS), I’m proud that LEDS will be part of this important national conversation. Our mission is clear: to deliver a modern, resilient, and secure data service that gives officers and staff the information they need, when they need it, to keep the public safe.

Events like Security & Policing are about more than technology showcases. They are about collaboration — between forces, agencies, industry, and government. The challenges we face across law enforcement are increasingly complex and interconnected. No single organisation can solve them alone. LEDS itself is built on that principle: a service shaped by users, designed around operational need, and delivered through partnership.

We’ll also be hosting a LEDS panel session on the Spotlight Stage on 11 March from 13:00–14:00, where we’ll share the latest progress, talk openly about the transformation journey from PNC to LEDS, and discuss what this means for frontline policing and specialist teams. It’s also a chance to hear directly from those leading this change and to ask the questions that matter most to you.

I strongly encourage colleagues from across policing and law enforcement to attend Security & Policing 2026. Your insight, experience and challenge are essential to making LEDS — and the wider data and technology landscape — work for the people who rely on it every day.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Mark Gilmartin, the Senior Responsible Owner (SRO), LEDS outlines why Security & Policing 2026 matters for the future of LEDS.

Security & Policing 2026 is one of the most important events in the law enforcement calendar, bringing together operational leaders, technologists, policymakers, and partners to focus on the capabilities that underpin modern policing.

As Senior Responsible Owner for LEDS, I see this event as a key moment to connect strategy with operational reality. LEDS is not simply a technology replacement for legacy systems — it is a long-term transformation in how law enforcement accesses, shares and uses critical information.

That transformation must be grounded in the real-world needs of officers, investigators, analysts and staff. Security & Policing gives us a unique forum to listen, learn and engage with the people who depend on these systems every day. It also enables us to strengthen partnerships with industry and other agencies who play a crucial role in delivering secure, reliable and future-ready services.

Throughout the event, LEDS will be exhibiting in the Government Zone, offering colleagues the opportunity to speak directly with the team, explore what the service means for their roles, and understand how we are working to ensure a smooth and effective transition from legacy capabilities.

I’m also pleased that LEDS will be hosting a panel discussion on 11 March between 13:00 and 14:00 on the Spotlight Stage. This session will explore where we are on the journey from PNC to LEDS, what colleagues can expect, and how we are working to ensure continuity, resilience and improved capability for policing.

I encourage leaders and practitioners alike to attend Security & Policing 2026. Your engagement helps ensure that LEDS is not only technically robust, but operationally relevant and trusted across the law enforcement community.

The Border Security Command (BSC) provides strategic leadership across the UK’s border security system, bringing together domestic and international partners to disrupt the organised crime groups that facilitate irregular migration, including small boat crossings.

At its core, the Command exists to provide a clear, long-term vision for border security. It works across policy, intelligence, and operational delivery to protect the integrity of the UK’s border and immigration systems, ensuring a coordinated response to increasingly complex and adaptive criminal networks.

This approach is delivering results. In the 12 months to September 2025, disruptions of organised crime gangs increased by a third. But the challenge continues to evolve, and the ambition is to go further.

With Border Security one of the central themes of this year’s Security & Policing, we are keen to engage industry on how cutting-edge technology, innovation, and expertise can support the fight against organised immigration crime.

Experiencing Border Security First-Hand

A key feature of this year’s exhibition is the immersive experience Borderline: The Traffickers’ Trail. This interactive experience places participants in the shoes of those working to disrupt organised immigration crime, challenging them to think through real-world decisions, intelligence gaps, and operational pressures. The immersive is designed not just to inform, but to provoke discussion on where industry capability, technology, and insight could make a meaningful difference.

Engaging with Leadership and Policy

Delegates at Security & Policing will also have the opportunity to hear directly from the Border Security Commander, Martin Hewitt CBE QPM, who will host a roundtable discussion with industry on the role of intelligence in tackling organised immigration crime (date and time to be confirmed). Details of the roundtable will be shared soon. Martin will also take part in the conference’s keynote thought-leadership panel.

In addition, colleagues from the Border Security Command will be available throughout the event in the Government Zone , offering opportunities to discuss the Command’s strategy, recent policy developments, and how intelligence is gathered, analysed, and applied across the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Border Security Command operational or strategic?

The Border Security Command is both. Since November 2025, it has been responsible for Maritime and Small Boats Operations and Home Office Intelligence functions, alongside its leadership of border security strategy, policy, and domestic and international taskforces.

What role does industry play?

Industry plays a critical role across multiple areas, including maritime capability, surveillance, reconnaissance and detection, intelligence gathering and analysis, and the digital tools and workflows used by policing and enforcement partners. Continued collaboration with industry is essential to staying ahead of organised criminal networks and strengthening the UK’s border security.

Following the success of previous Innovation Zones, we sat down with Detective Superintendent Richard Myszczyszyn to explore the plans for the Innovation Zone in 2026 and why innovation in security and policing is more important than ever.

Richard, why do you think it’s important to consider innovation in the operational world?

As someone who spent more than two decades in policing before joining the Home Office Science, Innovation & Technology (SIT) Delivery team, I’ve seen first-hand how quickly the operational landscape is changing. From major crime to public protection, science, technology and innovation now play a central role in how we keep people safe.

That’s why I’m particularly proud to champion the Innovation Zone at Security & Policing (S&P) 2026, a space designed to bring operational colleagues, government and industry together to solve real operational challenges and shape the future of public safety and national security.

And how does the Innovation Zone help bring these groups together?

Since joining the Home Office on secondment, I’ve worked closely with policing and borders colleagues to continue to develop how operational requirements are fully reflected throughout the Home Office’s missions. The Innovation Zone is one of the most important places where this happens.

It ensures that the voices of frontline colleagues, alongside innovation partners across government, academia and industry, directly inform the Home Office’s research, development and innovation (RDI) work. It’s also where some of the most exciting ideas and technologies start their journey into operational reality.

What can we expect from the Innovation Zone at S&P 2026?

Building on solid foundations from previous years, the Innovation Zone at S&P 2026 will spotlight work aligned to the Home Office’s core missions: Public Safety, Migration & Borders, and Homeland Security.

Across the Zone, you will find demonstrations, panels and presentations on:

  • AI enabled tools supporting investigations, safeguarding and offender risk management
  • New capabilities for border security, biometrics and threat detection
  • Emerging technologies tackling drone misuse, deepfakes and AI enabled crime
  • Operational efficiencies that help forces save time and reduce cost pressures
  • Advances in forensics including innovations building on 30 years of the National DNA Database

These aren’t future concepts – these are technologies and approaches already helping deliver safer streets, secure borders and stronger public safety outcomes today.

How can people get involved in the Innovation Zone?

The Innovation Zone is built for participation, insight and collaboration. Whether you’re a policy adviser, technical specialist or frontline partner, your experience matters.

Here’s how to make the most of it:

  • Join the workshops and live sessions: Hear directly from RDI programme teams and share your operational insight. Your experiences help us understand what works, and what still needs to be solved.
  • Explore new technologies: Test prototypes and speak to the innovators behind them. These conversations often shape the next stage of development.
  • Bring your challenges: We want to hear about the problems you face on the frontline. The Zone includes dedicated spaces for roundtables and networking on the latest science and technology issues.
  • Connect across policing, government and industry: The Innovation Zone brings together people who rarely get the chance to collaborate in the same room. It’s a unique opportunity to build partnerships and influence future priorities and find out what we have been up to one year on from the publication of our Research, Development and Innovation Strategy.

Looking Ahead

I encourage all colleagues to visit the Innovation Zone at S&P 2026 and explore how we can work together to keep the UK safe and secure. Whether your interests lie in data analytics and AI, forensics, detection technologies, behavioural science or emerging capabilities, the Zone is the perfect place to see what’s coming next.

More importantly, it’s an opportunity to share your insight, identify areas where we can collaborate on shared challenges, and help shape the next generation of science, innovation and technology for policing and public protection.

If you’re attending S&P 2026, make sure the Innovation Zone is at the top of your agenda, your voice and experience will directly influence the future of UK security and policing.
