About this conference
The Gatlinburg Law Enforcement Conference is an annual event designed for U.S. Law Enforcement Professionals, including officers, victim advocates, prosecutors, and related professionals. It offers specialized training, sessions with experts, and peer collaboration nationwide, with a focus on the southeast region.

The 2026 agenda addresses law enforcement challenges, shares best practices, and supports officer well-being. Highlights include expert seminars, training workshops in investigative techniques, technology, and community policing, networking opportunities, and exhibitors showcasing the latest equipment and resources. A dedicated Victim Services Track is also offered, tailored for system-based victim service providers within law enforcement and prosecution agencies, focusing on strengthening programs, emerging trends, best practices, and trauma-informed training. Topics for 2026 include emerging threats and incident response (hoax bombings, mass shootings, human trafficking), technology and investigations (AI in cold cases, social networking, sextortion, child exploitation), officer wellness and resilience (mental health, drug enforcement safety), and specialized law enforcement skills (undercover operations, death investigations).
