TREXPO Joins Forces with GovSec to Establish Event Showcasing and Tools for Law Enforcement
This year, TREXPO is joining forces with GovSec– the Government Security Conference and Expo – to bring together leaders in law enforcement, military, security and federal agencies in a single location, where more can be learned about the tactical training, technology and services required to gain an advantage in ensuring public safety and security. Scheduled for May 13-15 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C., TREXPO will enable credentialed law enforcement professionals to enhance their Police Week experience by attending free exhibits, educational sessions and demonstrations, and receiving discounted registration for the conference and workshops.
“By offering free and discounted programming, TREXPO gives law enforcement departments and agencies a cost-effective way to provide their officers and employees with valuable training and exposure to the latest tools and tactics in law enforcement,” said Don Berey, senior event director for TREXPO. “The combination of TREXPO and GovSec allows for the fusion of two audiences – law enforcement and government security professionals – who share the common goal of ensuring the safety of our communities and critical infrastructure.”
Enhanced Police Week Experience
While in town for Police Week events, law enforcement also can attend TREXPO to make the most of their visit to Washington, D.C.

In addition, the first 250 current and credentialed first responders to attend will receive a free lunch in the exhibit hall, and the first 250 in uniform will receive a limited edition TREXPO challenge coin.
On Wednesday, May 15, at 11 a.m., there will be a moment of silence at GovSec and TREXPO, when the National Peace Officers' Memorial Service will honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and to support the law enforcement officers from around the world, converging in Washington, D.C. for the memorial.
