The Joint Security and Resilience Centre (JSaRC) is looking to collaborate with industry to create a live Immersive Experience at the Security & Policing Event in March 2025.
The immersive experience is an interactive demonstration of technologies and solutions from the security sector and simultaneously demonstrates how private sector technology can solve security challenges. It aims to provide participants with a hands-on, true to life view of a security problem and how to solve it quickly using technology.
Expression of Interest
Does your organisation have experience in delivering or showcasing solutions in:
- Video surveillance
- Knife crime detection
- Crowd simulation/modelling
- VR training technologies
- Information sharing
This year’s immersive experience will include one overarching scenario with the opportunity to undertake two different challenges in two different spaces, at the immersive.
For 2025, the immersive will have a central theme of Protecting our streets and aims to showcase safer streets including CCTV, VR technology and venue security.
The Challenge – “Citywatch Operatives”
Based in a fictional city, participants will be briefed on the rising neighbourhood crime statistics in the city. Attendees will be introduced to their role as “CityWatch” operatives, tasked with keeping the streets safe through the use of cutting-edge surveillance and crime-prevention technologies. As a team, participants will work through a scenario to:
- Detect and combat a knife crime incident
- Provide an appropriate risk assessment for a small venue in the city
- Examine evidence obtained from the city’s CCTV
The highlights below from the 2024 Security & Policing immersive experience will give you an idea of how the immersive and the technology will be presented at the exhibition.
How to get involved
JSaRC is looking to work with industry and academia who are interested in creating new and engaging content for the experience. This will likely include video content, animations, 3D models, simulations and AR/VR.
They are seeking products and services that are market, or near market ready to solve security challenges. JSaRC would like these products and services to be as interactive as possible and so any hardware solution should be safe and simple to handle, or a software solution should have a navigable user interface, for example
Applications should come from organisations that can contribute content and showcase their solutions in areas such as:
How to register your interest
Please complete this survey by 18:00 on the 2nd December 2024.
Security & Policing 2025 Immersive Experience Expression of interest Survey
If you have multiple products/solutions that you would like to showcase in the immersive, please submit individual responses per product/solution.
JSaRC and policy colleagues will review the responses submitted and applicants will be informed of the outcome w/c 2 December 2024, via nominated points of contact.
Considerations
This feature will not provide Government endorsement or verification/certification of equipment.
Data obtained by any products that are selected must not be kept and must be destroyed after the event.
The immersive is not a commercial activity, and no goods or services will be purchased by HMG as a result of a suppliers participation in it.
JSaRC cannot guarantee that surveys submitted after the deadline will be responded to.
Successful participants are required to have an exhibiting presence at Security & Policing 2025. An important part of the Immersive Experience will be the interface between suppliers and visitors. This will provide an opportunity for visitors to liaise directly with supplier representative(s) throughout the event.
