Experience a living world of Security
The Security Innovation Hub is a living, immersive security campus—built to move beyond exhibit booths and static demonstrations into real-world experience.
Set across 7 acres of active outdoor and indoor environments, the Hub brings security solutions to life through full-scale, live activations designed to be seen, tested, and experienced in realistic use cases. Every system you encounter—physical, digital, and operational—is part of a connected universe of security, working together the way it does in the real world.
At the heart of the campus is an 8,000-square-foot Visitor Center, purpose-built for interactive exploration, collaboration, and hands-on engagement, with an additional 30,000 square feet coming soon to expand innovation, training, and mission-driven programming.
This experience doesn't stop at our gates.
Through enhanced partnerships across city, state, and national stakeholders, the Security Innovation Hub extends into live, operational locations, offering immersive experiences where security is actively protecting people, infrastructure, and communities.
