Welcome from British APCO Chair, Darryl Keen

Welcome to BAPCO Annual Event 2027 Website

The BAPCO Annual Event has always been about bringing the public safety community together, and BAPCO 2026 was a fantastic example of that in action. Across two days, emergency services, government and industry came together to share knowledge, explore real operational challenges and consider the future of public safety communications. The collaboration, openness and shared sense of purpose throughout the event reflected everything that makes the BAPCO community unique.

As the UK's professional association for public safety communications, British APCO is deeply embedded within the emergency services community, helping the sector to shape and support the technologies, systems and operational approaches used across frontline services every day. That close connection ensures the event remains built by emergency services, for emergency services.

As we look ahead to Liverpool in 2027, we have an exciting opportunity to build on the momentum of recent years, continue evolving the event and strengthen the community that sits at its heart.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to BAPCO 2026. We look forward to welcoming you to Liverpool on 23–24 March 2027!
