Security & Policing 2027

Security & Policing is the official UK Government global security event, hosted by the Home Office's Joint Security & Resilience Centre (JSaRC) and organised by ADS Group with Total Events. Established more than 44 years ago, it is a closed event: there is no general admission and every visitor and exhibitor is subject to Home Office approval. It lets trusted suppliers show equipment, training and services to police, government departments and agencies from the UK and overseas.
