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.
