Mission Ready: Every Responder, Every Time

Public safety challenges evolve by the day – staffing shortages, rising risks, legal complexity, and new technologies. The stakes have never been higher. To meet the moment, today’s leaders must be more than prepared. They must be mission ready.

Connect 2025 is Lexipol’s premier virtual conference built to equip public safety professionals with the insight, tools, and support needed to achieve Total Readiness—across people, operations, and leadership.

Whether you’re leading personnel, managing risk, building policy, or improving efficiency, this is your chance to move from reactive to ready.
