Cutting-Edge Technology and Collaboration Take Center Stage at the 2025 Spring Public Safety Expo

On April 17, 2025, public safety professionals from across Connecticut came together at the Aqua Turf Club in Plantsville for the highly anticipated 2025 Spring Public Safety Expo. The event brought over 100 national vendors under one roof, creating a dynamic hub for showcasing the latest in public safety products, services, and innovations.

The exhibit hall was the heart of the expo — an expansive showcase of next-generation equipment and solutions designed to enhance operations, efficiency, and officer well-being. Attendees had the opportunity to explore a wide array of tools including firearms, protective gear, communication and security systems, training programs, software platforms, and more. This hands-on format gave public safety professionals a chance to directly engage with cutting-edge technologies and gather insights into what's next in the industry.

Beyond the exhibition floor, the expo featured informative training. The officer wellness training session titled "Not 'Check Box' Training: Real Practices in Resilience for Police" was led by Dr. Jeff Thompson. Sponsored by Critical Response Group, the session addressed the mental and emotional challenges faced by officers and introduced practical strategies for long-term resilience.

The day also included Legislative Day at EXPO 2025, giving attendees the unique chance to connect directly with State Representatives to discuss pressing public safety issues and legislative priorities.

With its blend of state-of-the-art exhibits, training session, and legislative day, the 2025 Spring Public Safety Expo once again delivered an essential experience for Connecticut’s law enforcement and first responder community.
