Law Enforcement Conferences

Each year, ADF works to pull together a comprehensive list of Law Enforcement conferences and events from around the world to help make it easy for professionals and industry to search and find the best events to attend. 

If you're a policeman, policewoman, sheriff, constable, prosecutor or other law enforcement professional, we know you're busy serving and protecting your community so our goal is to help save them time and find the best conferences, events and training which will help you in your mission. 

Types of Law Enforcement Conference and Events

  • International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA) - to reach members this organization hosts a variety of regional events throughout the year typically hosted at one of the member campuses 
  • Virginia Computer Forensics & Digital Investigations Conference - limited to professionals in the Commonwealth 
  • National Cyber Crime Conference (NCCC) - organized by the Attorney General of Massachusetts this regional event has grown to attract from outside the region

National, Federal or Multi-Country Events

These events are typically organized by national or federal law enforcement agencies but can be organized by third party organizers and are designed to bring together larger audiences and typically feature a wider number of training tracks.

International Events

International events bring together professionals from around the world and provide good opportunities for law enforcement to network, learn and discuss topics of international importance. Topics typically focus on content related to sharing best practices and solving international crime trends. These large events bring internationally recognized speakers and can feature hundreds of police product vendors. 

Examples:

  • International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) - features education, networking and access to law enforcement's leading tacticians, veteran experts and police equipment suppliers
