Security & Policing 2021 presents the ideal setting to truly learn about the innovations, policies and equipment available to respond to the latest and future security challenges and threats. This year in response to the ongoing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and continuing to evolve security and policing through innovation, Security & Policing will be centred around three core themes of resilience, recovery and rebuild:
- Resilience – showcasing leading solutions to existing and emerging global threats
- Recovery – connecting Government and industry to rise to the current challenges
- Rebuild – presenting the latest technology and innovation for a secure future
A range of dedicated features run along side the extensive exhibition, making this a completely immersive experience for both visitors and exhibitors alike.
