We have now confirmed our attendance at the 2013 Policing & Security Exhibition. Held annually at the FIVE venue in Farnborough, Hampshire, Security & Policing as an event provides an environment structured to deliver the value and benefit to professionals from all facets of the security sphere.

Security & Policing 2013 is the UK’s only secure event for police, law enforcement and security professionals tasked with security, civil protection and National Resilience. With over 350 companies attending, this UK Government event is the largest of its kind in the UK and provides a platform for showcasing world leading technologies, products and solutions to more than 500 police services, government departments, organisations and agencies from the UK and overseas.

With over 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 services, 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.

We are grateful to Mr. Liddel-Grainger for taking time out from his parliamentary schedule to come and discuss the importance of manufacturing both on a local and national level.
