We had a fantastic weekend in Boston attending the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Annual Conference. We met some great people and had some fantastic engagement with law enforcement and public safety professionals. Just wanted to give a big shoutout to Edward Davis for inviting me to the amazing networking event hosted by The Edward Davis Company and Flock Safety. A big thank you to Young Enterprise NI as these connections were made possible during the trade mission which took place in March of this year. 🇺🇸 👮♂️

And to top it off, being featured on Japanese TV was surreal. 🇯🇵 #SEECATexhibition #Japan #productinnovation
