09.30 – 12.30

WORKSHOP 1: How can Google help improve

public safety?

FOR PUBLIC AUTHORITIES ONLY

(Registrations limited to 10 people)

Dialogue between emergency services and tech companies

is key to keeping citizens safe. In this workshop, emergency

services representatives will get the opportunity to discuss

with Google staff about the best ways to foster innovation in

public safety. Google will present some of their projects and

participants will be able to give their feedback to the

developers, as well as provide ideas on how tech can

contribute to a safer world.

WORKSHOP 3: Drones in public safety –

hands-on training day

(Registrations limited to 35 people)

DJI and EENA are organising a workshop and demo

on use cases of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems

(RPAS), also referred to as drones, in Public Safety. Drones have taken great leaps in Public Safety and

have become a force multiplier for firefighting, search

and rescue and law enforcement missions. This technology is providing mission critical situational

awareness, allowing incident commanders to make

better and faster decisions, and thus, mitigating risks on the ground and helping save lives and properties.

The indoor & outdoor sessions allow participants to

learn about new technologies available and get a more in-depth look into surveying and mapping, such

as accident reconstruction and disaster mapping.

Meeting point: 09.30, lobby of the Radisson Blu Latvija Conference & Spa Hotel

Return time: 16.15, depart venue to hotel

14.00 – 17.00

WORKSHOP 2: AML workshop: deployment and

operational use

(Registrations limited to 20 people)

Over the last years, the value of Advanced Mobile Location

(AML) has become undeniable. With new European

legislation making AML mandatory in all Member States,

what practical lessons can be learnt from past deployments?

In this workshop, we’ll be exploring the challenges faced and

solutions found in the deployment of AML, with practical

recommendations and discussions focused on operational

use and implementation.

Keynote - White Helmets: saving lives in a war on two fronts

Volunteers have fought tirelessly during the Syrian Civil War to rescue victims of war from the most dangerous situations. In a country fraught with disaster, the While Helmets rescuers are an excellent example of solidarity. The road has not been easy, involving a fight on two fronts: on

one hand against the physical dangers, on the other against targeted disinformation. We will hear how the organisation faced these challenges and

pay tribute to James Le Mesurier, founder of Mayday Rescue – a charity which supports and trains the White Helmets.

Preventing violence against emergency

services

While emergency services dedicate their lives to

keeping other people safe, we must think about protecting the protectors. Sadly, whether in the

call centre or out on the field, violence towards
