We held the second annual 2025 IEEE World Forum on Public Safety Technology (WF-PST), a ground-breaking event dedicated to addressing current and future needs in public safety technology. Explore advancements in existing and emerging technologies, discover new research, and gain insights into the breakthroughs that are shaping the future of public safety applications.
The two-and-a-half-day in-person program, filled with thought-provoking keynotes, critical-thinking panel discussions, and cutting-edge technical paper presentations, delivered high-quality original research, unique innovations, and compelling insights into the future of public safety technologies.
The IEEE WF-PST program will explore the research and results that contribute to advancements in the following Public Safety Technology applications:
- AI/ML, Smart Algorithms, Digital Twins, and Intelligent Systems
- Communication and Networking
- Transportation Technologies for Public Safety
- Edge Computing, Cloud Computing, and IoT
- Blockchain and Forensics
- Security, Privacy, and Trust
- Health and Wellness of Public Safety Personnel

The 2025 WF-PST is positioned for public safety agencies, suppliers, practitioners, researchers, industry leaders, and first responders to discuss and exchange ideas on how emerging technologies can help improve public safety. Examples include how personnel can be more effective in their work, support sustained health and wellness, and learn how technology safeguards our communities.
Attend this exciting event to:
- Investigate, identify, and prioritize opportunities for existing relevant technologies for solving real-world challenges that public safety agencies are/will be facing
- Research new technologies for filling the gaps in public safety applications
- Launch and lead sustainable activities, products, and services to establish the use of technologies by public safety entities, and generate new revenue streams
- Engage, interact, and collaborate, where appropriate, with public safety associations, industry consortia, academic and government entities
At a WF-PST event, you’ll experience a dynamic environment where you can expand your knowledge, build valuable connections, and draw inspiration from the brightest minds in the multi-faceted fields of public safety.
