Very Good Event – I’m Looking Forward to PAvCON 2022

ASOG 2021 Focus Area: News & Information

Posted by: Patrick Ryan

ASOG members, if you’re in the European airborne public safety sector, I highly recommend this event for professional development and networking, i.e., the Police Aviation Conference (PAvCON) Europe.

I had the pleasure of attending this year’s PAvCON yesterday. However, due to the cancellation of a conventional face-to-face PAvCon Europe this year, Police Aviation Research teamed up with the Airborne Public Safety Association (APSA) to conduct a PAvCon branded virtual training/conference event.

Outside of filling my professional development bucket with informative information, I really enjoyed seeing fellow ASOGers leading the program and passing-on their experiences. I want to say thank you to these members who made PAvCON enjoyable & effective this year:

Bryn Elliott – PAvCON Managing Director/Organizer

Harald Brink – Along with Luc, presented “IR Airborne Tactics”

Luc Stremersch – Presented “IR Airborne Tactics”

Haiko Kroeze – Presented “UAV Tactics and Operations”

According to Bryn, next year’s event (Live – 2 days) will take place in Wiener Neustadt Austria at the Airborne Technologies facilities. Again, if you’re in the airborne public safety sector “or not” but want to compare with your aerial remote-sensing industry sector, PAvCON is a good event to attend. When the time comes, I’ll get the ASOG Desk Editor to post more information for PAvCON 2022 when Bryn is ready.
