We’re delighted to bring you news of the UKROEd/NPCC Roads Policing Conference for 2026.
Our annual two-day event is always a fantastic opportunity for road safety professionals from across the NDOR Scheme and policing to come together and hear the latest developments in driver education, prevention and enforcement, and network with like-minded colleagues.
Taking place at the Radisson Blu Hotel near Manchester Airport, our theme this year is ‘The Journey to Safer Roads: Continuing the Commitment’, and we can promise you another topical and engaging agenda, ensuring all delegates will be able to share our passion for road safety and saving lives.
