Past event: Homeland Security Africa

Homeland Security Africa Focus Day - 16 March 2015
Co-located with Coastal and Maritime Surveillance Summit 17 – 18 March 2015
Critical Infrastructure Protection in Oil and Gas Focus Day – 19 March 2015


Is your organisation adequately prepared and equipped to deal with the rapid and dynamic changes taking place in the African security environment?


The shifting security landscape and newly emerging threats require the countries in ECOWAS and the wider region to formulate national security strategies and frameworks that share common approaches and address shared security concerns. As key security stakeholders continue to develop and implement these policies, security providers will be called upon to offer the most advanced technologies and integrated systems that mitigate the risk posed by threats to homeland stability and tranquility.

Formally supported by the Ghana Police Service, our first annual Homeland Security Summit - Africa, taking place 18-20 November in Accra, is the region’s premiere event for ascertaining information about the latest trends in homeland security and the most advanced technologies for integrating capability across multiple agencies and directorates.


4 reasons to attend Homeland Security Africa:

  • Learn about physical and electronic security capability requirements from key decision makers in both the Ghana Police Service and regional forces
