EVENTS



FIVE venue in Farnborough, Hampshire, 31st January – 2nd February 2012

In 2012 the HOSDB exhibition will be changing to Security & Policing.


This name has been chosen to better reflect the enhancement and realignment of what was the Home Office Scientific Development Branch. All of the key elements of the event, including the exhibitor and visitor criteria, will remain as it continues to provide the UK’s premier platform for showcasing world leading technologies and solutions for law enforcement and public security applications.

Security & Policing is the UK's only secure event for police, law enforcement and security professionals tasked with security, civil protection and National Resilience.

With a 30 year history and a global influence, this UK Government event has grown to be a corner-stone of the security calendar. This exhibition brings together international professionals and experts from government, law enforcement, police service, CNI and industry in a crucible of shared knowledge and experience.

Originating from the Home Office and delivered from within the exhibition, the growing impact of the Briefing and Outreach Programme provides a platform for senior government and security officials to host a series of workshops and briefings, providing insight, depth and clarity on key areas of government planning as well as information on current and future programmes.
