Training
The conference brings with it opportunities for attendees to learn from others the positive and negative aspects of areas of operation they may never have experienced or even considered, to see first- hand what new products industry is working on or considering and how other operational units deal with common problems.Expertise
Many of the attendees, both speakers and delegates, are experts in their field. For the length of the conference this knowledge is a few paces away for all attendeesWhat is PAvCon Europe?
PAN/PAvCon has now morphed into PAvCon Europe. It is an association of active airborne public order support experts and specialists dedicated to the further training, information transfer thereby driving increased safety of colleagues everywhere.Networking
It is interacting with International colleagues, industry leaders and sales staff that is at the core of PAvCon. Contacts made on the floor of the conference and its associated commercial exhibition can be a key to future help and inspiration in the workplace for decades ahead. It is not what you know but who you know and year on year PAvCon offers the opportunity to meet many of these useful contacts.

“What is said about us”
I love the idea behind PAvCon, creating a network of Police aviators
in Europe and abroad, together with the industry, but without the
character of a sales event. I will continue to support this idea, if it is
sustainable in the future gentlemen. It was a great pleasure to work
with you in the last seven years. We will not lose contact and I'm
looking forward to every issue of PAN and especially to meeting you
again.
Thomas Helbig M.A.
Head of German Federal Police Air Support Group
“I have been involved with safety education a shorter time than many
of you, so what I have to say is something all of you are painfully aware
of. It has been one of the most rewarding things I have done in my
lifetime. Knowing that the events I have been involved in have
somehow contributed to the safety of aircrews and/or the
communities they serve is priceless. That reward has come with the
nearly constant frustration of knowing those most in need of
professional education are the ones that fail to participate, usually
because they do not think they need it. I admit that it has drug my
spirits down many times, especially when it has been my own people!!
As just a participant of the event organized by those of you who put so
much work into it, let me tell you that great things were accomplished
to the benefit of our industry. One of the characteristics of people such
you fine gentlemen that I admire greatly is the ability to shoulder these
frustrations and continue forward regardless. I know for a fact that
without PAvCon, the accident numbers I give at the beginning of my
presentation would be higher. It is a great honour to be a part of this
group and I look forward to continuing to fight the good fight with you
all”

Request from our Dutch ASU colleague.
PAvCon 2018/19
Since January 2015, 9 major terrorist attacks have been committed within
Europe. Think of the attacks in Brussels, Paris, London, Barcelona, Stockholm and
Berlin. A part of the police deployment during and immediately after these
attacks was Air Support. Air Support for observation, for detection, for transport
of special units, etc. Hours, maybe days of flight time after the aforementioned
attacks. Every unit to the best of its ability with all possible means and especially
with their own techniques and tactics. What we know for sure:
• In the (near) future, more terrorist attacks will follow in Europe;
• These attacks will also take place in countries where no attack has been made
so far;
• Air support units for support. With fixed wing, UAVs and helicopters.
As mentioned, there are Air Support Units in Europe with terrorist attack
experience. They have accumulated hours of "experience" in how an air asset can
be used as effectively as possible. They also have experiences in tactics which
have not proved to be effective. These experiences, positive and/or negative,
have emerged and discussed within the units in a major debriefing? Based on
that, have adjustments been made to the SOPs? But have these experiences also
been shared with, for example, neighbouring countries? With the European
colleagues? What are the do's and don'ts for ASUs during such a mission? What
when it becomes a cross-border operation? What is the nearest air asset is one
from a foreign country? Are conversations possible via police radios, except for
VHF or UHF?
I think PAvCon 2018 and PAvCon 2019 are the places to come together and
have a meeting on this subject. PAvCon 2018 to share experiences and make a
start with a kind of SOP for ASUs how to deal with terrorist attacks and PAvCon
2019 to endorse it as a sort of blueprint. With this, PAvCon Europe cordially
invites the colleagues of the European Police Air Support Units, in particular the
Gendarmerie Nationale (France), the Air Support Department of the Feder
al Police (Belgium), the National Police Air Service (UK), the Mossos d'Esquadra
(Barcelona), Guardia Civil (Spain), Polisflyget (Sweden) and the colleagues of
the Bundespolizei Fliegerstaffel (Germany), to share their experiences during
PAvCon 2018 with all other units present and to come to a do and do not list in
case of a deployment in response to a terrorist attack.

Bryan Smith

PAvCon Europe 2018 - Poland
Request from our Dutch ASU colleague.
Since
January
2015,
9
major
terrorist
attacks
have
been
committed
within
Europe.
Think
of
the
attacks
in
Brussels,
Paris,
London,
Barcelona,
Stockholm
and
Berlin.
A
part
of
the
police
deployment
during
and
immediately
after
these
attacks
was
Air
Support.
Air
Support
for
observation,
for
detection,
for
transport
of
special
units,
etc.
Hours,
maybe
days
of
flight
time
after
the
aforementioned
attacks.
Every
unit
to
the
best
of
its
ability
with
all
possible
means
and
especially
with
their
own
techniques
and
tactics. What we know for sure:
• In the (near) future, more terrorist attacks will follow in Europe;
• These attacks will also take place in countries where no attack
has been made so far;
•
Air
support
units
for
support.
With
fixed
wing,
UAVs
and
helicopters.
As
mentioned,
there
are
Air
Support
Units
in
Europe
with
terrorist
attack
experience.
They
have
accumulated
hours
of
"experience"
in
how
an
air
asset
can
be
used
as
effectively
as
possible.
They
also
have
experiences
in
tactics
which
have
not
proved
to
be
effective.
These
experiences,
positive
and/or
negative,
have
emerged
and
discussed
within
the
units
in
a
major
debriefing?
Based
on
that,
have
adjustments
been
made
to
the
SOPs?
But
have
these
experiences
also
been
shared
with,
for
example,
neighbouring
countries?
With
the
European
colleagues?
What
are
the
do's
and
don'ts
for
ASUs
during
such
a
mission?
What
when
it
becomes
a
cross-border
operation?
What
is
the
nearest
air
asset
is
one
from
a
foreign
country?
Are
conversations
possible
via
police
radios,
except
for
VHF
or
UHF?
I
think
PAvCon
2018
and
PAvCon
2019
are
the
places
to
come
together
and
have
a
meeting
on
this
subject.
PAvCon
2018
to
share
experiences
and
make
a
start
with
a
kind
of
SOP
for
ASUs
how
to
deal
with
terrorist
attacks
and
PAvCon
2019
to
endorse
it
as
a
sort
of
blueprint.
With
this,
PAvCon
Europe
cordially
invites
the
colleagues
of
the
European
Police
Air
Support
Units,
in
particular
the
Gendarmerie
Nationale
(France),
the
Air
Support
Department
of
the
Federal
Police
(Belgium),
the
National
Police
Air
Service
(UK),
the
Mossos
d'Esquadra
(Barcelona),
Guardia
Civil
(Spain),
Polisflyget
(Sweden)
and
the
colleagues
of
the
Bundespolizei
Fliegerstaffel
(Germany),
to
share
their
experiences
during
PAvCon
2018
with
all
other
units
present
and
to
come
to
a
do
and
do
not
list
in
case
of
a
deployment
in response to a terrorist attack.
