The Intelligence Transfer Centre (ITC) is proud to present the 18th Annual Leadership for Women in Law Enforcement, Safety and Security Management Conference, taking place on 26 & 27 August 2026 at Hotel Sky Sandton, Johannesburg.

For nearly two decades, this flagship event has served as a premier platform dedicated to recognising, empowering, and advancing women across the law enforcement, public safety, security, and criminal justice sectors. As women continue to assume leadership roles in traditionally male-dominated environments, the need for meaningful dialogue, collaboration, and professional development has never been greater.

The conference brings together senior leaders, decision-makers, policymakers, operational practitioners, and emerging professionals from law enforcement agencies, correctional services, municipal policing, border management, intelligence services, private security organisations, and related sectors. Through the sharing of experiences, best practices, and innovative approaches, delegates gain valuable insights into the evolving challenges and opportunities facing the safety and security landscape.

This year’s programme will explore critical issues impacting women leaders and professionals, including strategic leadership, organisational culture, workforce development, officer wellness, technology and innovation, community safety, and the future of policing and security management. Delegates will also have the opportunity to engage with distinguished speakers, participate in thought-provoking discussions, and expand their professional networks.

More than just a conference, the event serves as a catalyst for leadership development, knowledge exchange, and the promotion of gender inclusivity within the safety and security sector. By bringing together influential voices from across the industry, the conference contributes to building stronger institutions, more resilient communities, and a more representative future for law enforcement and security leadership.

The 18th Annual Leadership for Women in Law Enforcement, Safety and Security Management Conference remain a must-attend event for professionals committed to advancing excellence, innovation, and leadership within the sector.
