“This year we are introducing an International Organisations Pavilion on the exhibition floor, led by GCCPOL, bringing together around 14 organizations (ASEANAPOL, CARICOM, GCC-Criminal Information Center to Combat Drugs, CARICC). Exhibitors from the private sector, startups and academia have told us they want to connect with government entities, and the pavilion makes that easier by putting them in one place. Through the WPS app, launching soon, visitors will be able to pre-schedule meetings, and have a productive three day experience.”
The summit will also feature 13 award categories recognizing excellence in policing and security.
