The IEEE World Forum on Public Safety Technology (WF-PST) is the flagship conference of the IEEE Public Safety Technology (PST) Initiative under Future Directions.

The purpose of the IEEE Public Safety Technology Initiative is to become the global Center of Excellence for public safety agencies, suppliers, practitioners, researchers, and all industry participants to discuss and exchange ideas on how emerging technologies can help public safety personnel be more effective in their work and support their sustained health and wellness. A Center of Excellence is a team, a shared facility or an entity that provides leadership, best practices, research, support and/or training for a focus area.

The IEEE Public Safety Technology Initiative seeks the following goals:

Investigate, identify, and prioritize opportunities for existing relevant technologies for solving real-world challenges that public safety agencies are/will be facing
Research new technologies for filling the gaps in public safety applications
Launch and lead sustainable activities, products, and services to establish the use of technologies by public safety entities, and generate new revenue streams
Engage, interact and collaborate, where appropriate, with public safety associations, industry consortia, academic and government entities
