Flight Safety, Unmanned Aircraft Are International

摘要

The Police Aviation Conference highlighted the common issues confronting airborne law enforcement units around the world, from flight safety and unmanned aircraft to interaction with homeland security agencies. The annual conference was held May 26-27 in Breda, the Netherlands. I am the organizer of PAvCon, as well as editor of Police Aviation News. This year's event was opened with a keynote address by a retired Netherlands air force general, Pieter Cobelens, who declared he knew little about police aviation. But even his copious helping of humor failed to hide some significant links with the security world. That alone bridged any gap there might have been between policing and the military.
