About This Event

The RIOT Security Conference, formally known as the National Law Enforcement and Corporate Crimes Convention (N-LECCC) hosted by Robbery Investigators of Texas (RIOT), is a premier annual event that brings together public sector law enforcement and private industry security professionals for advanced training, collaboration, and networking. RIOT is a nonprofit association focused on strengthening partnerships between law enforcement and corporate security through shared investigative strategies and professional development. The multi-day convention features dynamic, high-impact training sessions presented by nationally recognized instructors and industry experts that cover a wide range of topics including violent crime, organized retail crime, financial and fraud investigations, and emerging threats in cyber and physical security.

Attending RIOT provides substantial benefits for professionals responsible for security, investigations, risk reduction, and threat response. Participants—ranging from federal, state, and local law enforcement personnel to corporate investigators from retail, financial institutions, armored transportation, and private industry—gain access to practical investigative techniques, case studies, and tools that enhance their ability to prevent and respond to complex security challenges. The event also fosters cross-sector networking and collaboration, allowing security leaders to build relationships, share insights, and develop coordinated approaches to crime prevention and asset protection that strengthen both public safety and corporate security programs.
