Police Fleet Expo 2025 (August 18-21) will, once again, bring together and connect the largest group of Police Fleet Professionals…with vehicle manufacturers, equipment manufacturers and suppliers.  

Don’t miss the opportunity to be a part of the only Expo that is exclusive to all aspects of police fleet management. This year’s training and trade show will take place at the Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex (BJCC), an incredible entertainment, sports and convention complex in the heart of Birmingham, known as Alabama’s Entertainment District. 

DriveX: Barber Motorsports Park

DriveX, the ride and drive portion of Police Fleet Expo, kicks off the Expo (on Monday), at the iconic Barber Motorsports Park…an 880-acre, multi-purpose racing facility…home to a 2.38-mile (3.83 km), 16-turn road course (and only 25 minutes from the Host Hotel). 

The vehicle off-road course (at Barber) consists of approximately seven miles of trails adjoining the Barber Proving Ground. It can be configured into different layouts and is also multi-directional. The trails have varying terrain and provide moderate-to-extreme elevation conditions. Natural features complement the beautiful setting along with water, rock, and bridge crossings that have been incorporated into the trail system.

“Vendor Village” is back this year with several police vehicle equipment manufacturers  displaying their latest equipment. Attendees have the opportunity to stop by each vendor and see products installed on an actual vehicle and get a feel for exactly how the equipment works, installs and functions.  

Get behind the wheel of the latest SUV's, sedans and EV's from Dodge Law, Ford Pro and GM Envolve as well as other types of vehicles to round-out your fleet, including motorcycles and more.   

While you are in Birmingham, make a trek out to the Barber Vintage Motorsport Museum, which has been named “World’s Largest Motorcycle Museum” by the Guinness World Records. 

The Park, which opened in 2003, has hosted numerous motorsport races including Grand-Am, Pirelli World Challenge, Vintage Racing Series events, AMA SuperBike and the IndyCar Series. 

Barber serves as the home of the North American Porsche Driving School, along with various track day events. It is also home to the newly built “Barber Proving Grounds”, which includes a new track area and wet/dry skid pad that will accommodate additional events while the existing track is in use. Mercedes-Benz hosts the Mercedes Brand Immersion Experience for its employees at the Proving Grounds, and others use the grounds to test and demonstrate vehicle capabilities, host product debuts, and provide safety instruction. Barber is noted for its landscaping and greenery and the track has been referred to as “The Augusta National of Motorsports.” 

3 Days of Police Fleet Training

There are three days of vital topical training sessions designed specifically for Police Fleet Managers and Fleet Professionals. Topical sessions range from Fleet Management 101 to more advanced class offerings, dealing with the important and complicated issues facing the fleet industry. All of this is in addition to the invaluable manufacturer’s sessions conducted by Ford Pro, Dodge Law and GM Envolve, BMW, Harley-Davidson, Ryvid and American Honda…where you get a chance to hear from the very people that design your law enforcement vehicles and motorcycles.  

Not only do you get to hear from the “Big 3”, but you get the opportunity to get answers to questions directly from the OEM representatives.  

Attendees can share innovative ideas and solutions, with other Fleet Professionals, and discuss solutions that assist them in performing their job more effectively. They can also test drive the newest police vehicles (all in one location).
