About Us

The leading UK based Association for all professionals using or developing Public Safety technology.

Launched in June 1993 as the British Association of Public Safety Communications Officials, British APCO, also known as BAPCO, is now acknowledged as the leading UK based Association for all professionals using or developing Public Safety technology.

British APCO is a growing community with extensive knowledge in Public Safety technology as a result of our members' use and delivery of real life public safety solutions. As a registered charity, we are independent, user led, working to improve emergency services and public safety communications and information technology for everybody’s benefit.
