| GovSec – Law Enforcement – Ready! Europe Exhibition & Conference  Law enforcement with a human face, ensuring biosafety in an open society and deployment of a pan-European emergency number will be the three main themes at the first edition of GovSec – Law Enforcement – Ready! Europe Exhibition & Conference. This event aims at the entire European safety & security industry and takes place at Brussels Expo, Belgium, on June 6th and 7th 2007. Several security and safety incidents in the last 5 years have raised new questions for the European security community: how can we maintain the norms and values of an open society in a region that is facing new internal and exogenous threats.Three main segments of the European safety & security community will debate these issues in their own domains during international conferences under the umbrella of GovSec – Law Enforcement – Ready! Europe Exhibition & Conference. This professional event creates a unique platform for the exchange of know-how and expertise in 3 areas of competence: GovSec is Europe's premier event for homeland security and the civil protection of people, goods and data. GovSec offers a complete range of products and services for safety and security professionals and is host to the first European Biosafety Congress. Law Enforcement aims at European police officers with a large offer of equipment, materials and investment goods for civil policing and law enforcement. Law Enforcement is host to the first international conference on Community Oriented Policing, organized by the Belgian Federal Police. Ready! Europe is the first pan-European platform for managers of emergency services and first responders. Ready! Europe is host to the first European Safety & Security Summit, organized by the European Emergency Number Association (EENA). This conference will focus on the roll-out of the universal emergency number 112. The program of the three international conferences is steadily taking shape. The International Conference on Community Oriented Policing will feature statements by Belgian Home Secretary Patrick Dewael and Minister Laurette Onkelinx, academics from Belgium and abroad (a.o. professor Gabriël van den Brink, professor Lawrence W. Sherman, professor Paul Ponsaers and professor Brice De Ruyver) and will be attended by over one thousand European police officials. The European Safety & Security Summit takes place under the patronage of European Commissioner Stavros Dimas and has among its guests Diana Wallis and Gérard Onesta, vice-presidents of the European Parliament, European MP Ari Vatanen and Demetrios Pyrros, president of the World Association of Disaster & Emergency Medicine. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Exhibition News :: home page |
