From October 14-17, the Leonardo team will be enjoying the sunshine of San Diego in the company of more than 16,000 public safety professionals. That's right! It's time for one of the most prominent law enforcement conferences globally, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Annual Conference and Exposition.

Are you coming to [IACP 2023](https://www.theiacpconference.org) too? Here are our tips to make the most of your time there.

#### 1. Schedule your EOC Plus demo.

You've heard the buzz, now see it for yourself. Our team is thrilled to introduce the ELSAG EOC Plus, a game-changing electronic surveillance system. This technology merges the trusted legacy of LPR cameras with new sensor technology, creating a unique electronic fingerprint by capturing signals from devices inside vehicles—like smartphones, smart watches, headphones, laptops, and RFID tags.

This* is* the next big thing in identifying suspects with unprecedented accuracy. Demos at Leonardo's booth will fill up quickly, so make sure to stop by booth 4307 to schedule yours before slots run out. (We'll also have an [LPR radar trailer](https://www.leonardocompany-us.com/hubfs/LPR/LPR-Product-Sheets/US/Radar-Trailer-us.pdf) and the solar-powered  [Street Sentry](https://www.leonardocompany-us.com/lpr/elsag-solar-powered) on display.)
