SINGAPORE -�Media OutReach - February 13,
2019 – Milipol Asia-Pacific

The global homeland security threat is
real and imminent. As part of this year’s objective to showcase; and create
public awareness and outreach, Milipol Asia-Pacific 2019 will be organising a special
three day conference to gather leading experts, professionals and academia on
this dynamic subject. The topics include overviews of the current regional

is critical in the fight against terror threats. From authentication and enhanced
access control; to the latest on cutting-edge surveillance and video analytics;
the application of Information Technology and data protection in public and
private sectors; weapon systems, drones and the use of robotics as well as innovative
anti-terrorism measures and counter-measures, Milipol Asia-Pacific 2019 serves
