The Commissioner of Police, Eddie Yome, will next week be travelling to the Greek capital of Athens where the European Association of Airport And Seaport Police (EAASP) will be celebrating its Annual Conference. Commissioner Yome is the President of the European Association and also President (Designate) of the International Association (IAASP).

The majority of Association members will be represented at the Conference, the theme of which is: ‘Countering Threats to Europe: Tackling Terrorism, People Smuggling And The Cyber Threat.’

This year’s Conference will once again touch upon mutual issues of concern, such as International Terrorism and the Cyber Threat. There will be numerous speakers from the world of Counter Terrorism, each providing unique perspectives on issues affecting particular regions and how these impact on Aviation and Maritime security.

A full two-day programme has been prepared for the Conference which will also include a table-top exercise.
