IN MEMORIAM

Commissioner Eugene in het Veld
 Eugene in het Veld was the Commissioner of the Rotterdam Port Police in the Netherlands. He served as the European representative on the International Board of the IAASP
for five years until his death in 2006 after a short illness.

Eugene began his career in 1968 in the Rotterdam Municipal Police. He served in a large number of posts including the Traffic Police Department and co-founded the Investigation and Apprehension Department (the Apprehension Team). He headed the office Uniform Branch and the CID Support Unit.

In 1994, when the Rotterdam-Rijnmond regional police force was formed, he was appointed Area Commander. After the merger of this area, he was appointed Head of the River Police, the present Seaport Police.

During Eugene’s tenure with the IAASP’s International Board, we were made aware of the fine qualities he possessed. He brought many new ideas and valuable insights to our organisation. Many of his innovative ideas and concepts have been adopted into standard IAASP present day practices.

 He spearheaded fund raising activities for the IAASP’s Morrone Education Fund intended to provide professional training for port police officers in third world countries.

 Consistent with his commitment to port policing, Eugene also served as the President of our sister organisation the European Association of Airport and Seaport Police (EAASP).

 His sharp wit and wry sense of humour will be missed by all those who knew him.

 Our thoughts are with his wife Inge and his children.

In Memoriam
Chief Constable D.C.W. (Peter) Gannon

It is with great regret that we announce the death of former Chief Constable D.C.W. (Peter) Gannon of the UK
at the age of 90 years.

A founder member of the International Association of Airport and Seaport Police (IAASP), Peter Gannon served on various committees and became President in 1973-74.
He was a strong influence in setting the initial IAASP objectives that remain in place to this day.

With his typical dedication and pride, he led the Port of London Authority Police
in an outstanding manner with great charisma.

Sometimes it is said lightly that a person was a legend in his own lifetime. In Peter's case he was a legend and achieved many things that, in normal circumstances, would have been difficult or impossible.
He rightly earned the highest respect from all those who knew him.

Peter was a major protagonist in the formation of our sister organisation,
the European Association of Airport and Seaport police (EAASP).

In his last few years he still took a lively and passionate interest in the activities of the IAASP and the EAASP.

We are indebted to Peter for his dedication and painstaking work in the best interests of the IAASP
