Held under the overarching theme ‘Viksit Bharat: Security Dimensions’, the conference will host detailed deliberations on key security issues such as Left Wing Extremism, counter terrorism, disaster management, women’s safety, and the use of forensic science and artificial intelligence in policing.

The Prime Minister will also confer the President’s police medals for distinguished service.

To bring fresh and innovative ideas to the table, heads of the home pepartment of states/UTs and some selected cutting edge level police officers in the ranks of DIG and SP will also participate in the conference this year.

The conference provides an interactive platform for senior police leaders and security administrators from across the country to engage in open exchanges on a wide range of national security issues.

It also facilitates the discussion of operational, infrastructural, and welfare-related challenges faced by the Police forces, along with the formulation and sharing of professional practices in addressing crime, maintaining law and order, and responding to internal security threats.
