The mission of the Mock Prison Riot facilitates the merging of tomorrow’s law enforcement and corrections technologies with today’s practitioners whose feedback and guidance shape the future of tools and tactics on a global scale.

The Mock Prison Riot is a four-day, comprehensive law enforcement and corrections tactical and technology experience, including 44,000 square feet of exhibit space, training scenarios, technology demonstrations, technology assessments and evaluations, certification workshops, a Skills Competition, and multiple opportunities for feedback, networking, and camaraderie on a global scale.

About the Mock Prison Riot

Executing a first-class, world-renowned event like no other...
The Mock Prison Riot is the only venue of its kind where law enforcement and corrections practitioners can touch, see, and actually deploy technologies from the showcase under real-world conditions, utilizing the grounds of the decommissioned West Virginia Penitentiary to maximum advantage. All Mock Prison Riot services are offered free of charge to attendees.

Facilitating the “marriage” of technologies and end users...
Technologists interact with law enforcement and corrections practitioners on every level, from actually deploying technologies from the showcase in tactical scenarios throughout the West Virginia Penitentiary grounds, to dynamic and interactive technology demonstrations, to simply working their exhibit booths. Communication is critical and guaranteed. Candid feedback and suggestions for improvements and modifications are what help shape the future of technologies and tactics in the law enforcement and corrections industry and save technologists’ time and money in the product development process. Special emphasis is placed on those technologies identified as high priority by the National Institute of Justice.

Allocating time and space for dynamic and interactive technology demonstrations...
Technologists demonstrate their products as much as they like under the most realistic conditions possible. Demonstrations are dynamic and interactive: on-the-spot feedback and question-and-answer sessions with law enforcement and corrections practitioners are welcomed and encouraged.

Designing a dynamic and challenging curriculum of free workshops...
The Mock Prison Riot venue offers state-of-the-art classrooms and equipment as well as the means for actual hands-on learning throughout the prison compound. Instructors and technologists work together, offering free certifications, saving law enforcement and corrections agencies thousands of training dollars.
