Here’s a short post to let the other ASOG members know how the Police Aviation Conference – Europe went for those ASOG members who attended this week in Warsaw Poland. We’ll share the official conference report when it’s released.
Overall, we had a great time! The best part was meeting fellow members in person. We were able to share experiences (there I was stories etc.), network and open doors for future opportunities. Plus, we were able to absorb a good amount of top-notch information related to the full spectrum of Public Safety Aviation operations, new technologies, and aircraft.
In a nutshell, day 1 focused on the Police Tactical Flight Officer (a.k.a. ASO) with briefings on roles & responsibilities, systems, and simulator training. Day 2 and 3 covered many police aviation topics ranging from Safety Management Systems (SMS), unmanned operations and an introduction to the Airborne Sensor Operators Group. Again, many more professional development presentations were given besides these.
If you want to know more about how the event was, reach out to any of your fellow members who attended an ask:
• Patrick Ryan

• Gustavo Duarte

Also, according to the PAvCon organizers, they have a soft plan to run the program same time next year but at an airfield near Rome, Italy. We’ll keep everyone posted on details as time goes and for those interested to start making plans.
