Now Recruiting Demonstrations and Displays for the 2027 Legislative Reception
The Legislative Reception provides an opportunity to engage directly with state elected officials, key decision-makers, and special guests. A key part of the event is showcasing the professionalism, specialized capabilities, and tools used by law enforcement agencies across Washington.
Giving elected officials a firsthand look at the equipment, technology, and resources officers rely on every day helps bring the realities of the job into focus, including how legislation directly impacts the work you do in the field.
Would you or someone in your agency be interested in participating? We’re looking for a variety of demonstrations, hands-on exhibits, display vehicles, and informational tables.
