Before deciding to hire a lawyer, ask us to send you written IBSSA official publication 2006 1 From quantity to quality Another year has passed. When we prepared our first publication for the 10th jubilee of IBSSA, we believed that we could describe the operation and relations of this diverse organisation. We were wrong. Right after the publication, we felt that we were a lot more than contained in the publication. This is how it was continued and let me inform you that we feel that we are short of pages again. Although we have got a wider outlook than before, there is one thing, which is clearly obvious, and that is quality change. I have already indicated in the first issue that state agencies, offi- cially engaged in this trade looked at non-governmental organisations first as an unwanted small brother. However, each year we managed to increase our role in areas where the professional state agencies do not have enough attention, staff or energy. So, this growth was not easy: primarily we had to increase our professional knowledge and prove our physical strength in various technical sports competitions, too. The non-governmental organizations provided proof. A lot of interna- tional trainers taught local trainers in technical courses organised in various countries and mem- bers of our organisation faced the same load in physical trainings as official athletes in order to have equal chances in open competitions with professional athletes. This year we will definitely show what we are capable of, because in October 2006 the first body- guard world championships will be organised in Hungary. Following several months of prepara- tions, administrative barriers and natural disasters our original plans have changed and now the competition is coming to Central Europe, Hungary. We have not organised a world competition like that before, but we do hope that with a successful start, we can create a tradition in this very com- plex competition requiring intensive preparations and a lot of knowledge. To develop from many small national competitions into a large competition for many nations and continents means the same quality transformation as IBSSA has replaced quantitative development with qualitative development, referring to the gained international positions indicated in the magazine. IBSSA is taken seriously these days. The international reputation of our organisation is reflected by the lead- ing positions of President Popper in international organisations that were not thought of a few years ago. It is clear that apart from personal merits, the professional quality development of our own organisation have also contributed to these achievements. Perhaps it is the result of this quality devel- opment that there is internal competition in several countries, i.e. more and more non-governmental secu- rity organisations approach us, wishing to share the advantages and positions arising from interna- tional relations. We hope that these two publications will help you understand this very wide international network formed on a non-governmental basis, which is trying to help solve local problems that cannot be resolved by the state of the relevant country at all or completely, with its own specific tools and opportunities.

COUNCIL OF EUROPE PARLIAMENTARY SESSION WITH A SIMULTANEOUS NGO (Non-Governmental Organisations) MEET- ING Strasbourg, January 23-27, 2006 Apart from numerous other subjects, the main focus is on the role of NGOs and their co-operation with the Council of Europe and the EU. Important news: IBSSA has been accepted in the Mission Europa organisation, which has a right to participate in the activities of the Council of Europe. Prof. George Popper, president of IBSSA, took part in the programme as a member of Mission Europa delegation. During the event, he established contact with the international anti-terrorism organisation, seated in the Ukraine, International Antiterrorism Unity. During his meetings with leaders of various organisations, Mr. Popper confirmed that at the end of September-beginning of October 2006, an inter- national conference will be organised in Budapest with IBSSA on security for Mission Europa and CIP UIOF. On February 13, 2006, the company of Dr. Abel Lacerda, a Portuguese IBSSA member, Chelworth Investments Ltd., organised in Lisbon a demonstration of a fantastic new product in the world of USA Sniffex company detecting explosives.

Mirza, as official guest of the AAU (Amateur Athletic Union of the USA - National Karate Program) Nationals - 2005. This years Nationals were held in the beautiful city of Lakeland, Florida. The AAU Nationals is a huge exemplary event of over 6000 sportsmen gathering for a week. The first two days are for education (trainings, lectures, meetings) and the rest of the days are for the National Championships. The trainings and the lectures have been exe- cuted by the world leading Master Teachers of the Karatedo -Mikami Sensei (Shotokan), Kotaka Sensei (Shito ryu), Mirza Sensei (Shotokan), Merriman Sensei and Kluger Sensei (Goju ryu), Saito Sensei (Shito ryu), Oshiro Sensei (Ryurei ryu), George Kotaka, Elisa Au and Christofer Pinna world Champions and others. There were over 1400 participants in the world class trainings. During the event Dr. Kluger held several meet- ings with Mr. Joe B. Mirza IBSSA - ISF Pan American President, and reached agreement con- cerning full cooperation for hosting IBSSA Congress, IBSSA - ISF world Martial Arts Convention and AAU Nationals 2006 in MIAMI, USA during June 2006. During the event Dr. Kluger held several impor- tant meetings with senior Police officers concern- ing future development of IBSSA activities in the USA and specially in Hawaii. During the great event Mr. Joe B. Mirza was conferred as Doctor of Philosophy - Budo Leadership & Education (on the photo). Dr. J. B. Mirza, the legendary leader of AAU Karate Program published AAU and International Budo Academy, will fully cooperate in a project of creating a full educational system to assist and strengthen Martial Art Teachers in Pan America. The President of IBSSA - International Sport Federation, Dr. Rony KLUGER visited the USA. This year the cooperation between the Dutch Security Agency and IBSSA was very positive. There were several training days and even Dr. Rony Kluger came all the way from Israel to teach Krav Maga. Dr. Frank Philipoom, a master teacher for the police-department, has started a new cir- cuit for self defence and Violance Aid. More well-educated people have joined IBSSA, including Bert Stekelenburg with his ATF-recherche Bureau. They all have a back- ground either in police or military service as specialised officers. That is why we also started a branch in the Netherlands Antillen (ARUBA) Caribbean Investigation & Consultancy Group. Martin F. Franke, specialised in investigations, risk consul- tancy, business intelligence, is in charge of the branch.

A lot of entrepreneurs have also recognised an advantageous advertising opportunity in supporting the security industry. The first IBSSA Bodyguard World Champi- onships will be organised at the end of October 2006, with individual and team com- petitions for bodyguards. Apart from shooting and special driving exercises, we also plan situational tasks for the competition. As numerous other events have already proven, many people are preparing for the event and we have received inquiries about the world championships from all parts of the world. Detailed information will be available at IBSSA website in the second quarter of 2006, describing the terms and conditions of online application options as well.

HUNGARY Phone/Fax: +36 26 341 539 , Fax: +36 26 540 288 e-mail: [email protected] The operating agenda for the World today com- prises the twin threats of Crime and Terrorism. While we continue to tackle traditional crime and public order concerns, we also have to face the challenges of combating terrorism and ensuring International Security. In confronting terrorism, we can ill-afford to be complacent and let out guard down. The Jemaah Islamiah (JI) group which is linked to the Al Qaeda network may have been disrupted but it continues to pose a real threat to our region- al security. It is important for us to understand and appreciate the link between criminal activities and terrorism. Extremists and terrorist groups are known to recruit from prisons and exploit criminal networks. Crime is often used by terrorists as a means of supporting and funding terrorist activi- ties. The Madrid train bombings in March 2004 were partially funded by a series of bank robberies in France. Terrorist organizations are formidable opponents as they are learning organizations. If we are not careful, we may just have to face the full onslaught of these groups. Terrorism is not new, and even though it has been used since the beginning of recorded history it can be relatively hard to define. Terrorism has been described variously as both a tactic and strategy; a crime and a holy duty; a justified reaction to oppression and an inexcusable abomination. Obviously, a lot depends on whose point of view is being represented. Terrorism has often been an effective tactic for the weaker side in a conflict. As an asymmetric form of conflict, it confers coercive power with many of the advantages of military force at a fraction of the cost. Due to the secretive nature and small size of terrorist organizations, they often offer opponents no clear organization to defend against or to defer. Following are some of the terrorist attacks since September 11, 2001: Terrorist organizations are truly learning organizations. From an organization, they became a movement to survive. As a movement, it is infinitely more difficult to track them down as they have widespread popular support and many sympathizers. We have to be careful to ensure that terrorists and criminals do not get together, especially those who have some form of Date Country Incident Sept 11, 2001 USA Islamic terrorists hijack 4 US airliners. 2 are crashed into the twin towers of New Yorks World Trade Centre, one targets the Pentagon in Washington.

IBSSA official publication 2006 6 Twin threats-crime and terrorism organization. We have to always stay one step ahead of them. Now how are we supposed to do this? We have to adopt a new framework that emphasizes a security mindset when we deal with criminal cases. We have to develop a sense of vigilance in every officer, and be alert to possible security implications. Even with the best technology and equipment, it will not be enough to stop terror- ism unless we carry out policing with the appro- priate mental models. We will have to adapt in the way we engage the community in addressing safety and security concerns. In tackling the challenges of an increas- ingly complex and dynamic operating environ- ment, we cannot work alone. Policing will have to be part of the entire problem solving process where multiple agencies, representing various interests, are involved. Problems can only be solved through the collaborative efforts of all par- ties involved, including the Police. Events in the past few years have underlined the importance of resilience as we strive towards our mission in building a safe and secure World. Since the September 11 attacks in New York and Washington, some events threw us into unfamil- iar territory, forcing us to grapple with unprece- dented issues, and race against time to mitigate problems which were evolving dynamically. When we dealt with Asian SARS, the Indonesian Tsunami disaster or the Pakistan earthquake, such shocks to our system came unexpectedly without warning. As an organiza- tion, we had to react quickly, organize ourselves and take control of situations outside comfort zone. We are proud to say that we have shown our mettle through these challenges. Another cornerstone of the strategy to counter terrorist and other criminal threats and the effec- tive implementation of a graduated response sys- tem is the provision of reliable and timely intelli- gence. As terrorists have varied their method of attack over the years, so also have they improved their techniques and skills. To receive early warn- ing of possible attacks, to keep abreast of changing threats and to remain technically ahead of the ter- rorist and other criminals capable of unlawful acts, it is essential that those responsible for security be discerning consumers of intelligence. Early warn- ing of threats or possible attacks against the public are vital, to ensure that all involved agencies are able to implement preparatory and preventive measures in a timely and cost effective manner. It is essential that available resources are effectively deployed to meet the known threat. It is in this latter regard that good intelligence is essential. Ports and airports for instance were obvious tar- gets and have been secured by the International Law Enforcement officers. These are targets that the World anticipates that terrorists will go for. However it is the soft targets that we should worry about: soft targets like the hotels and offices. There are so many of these and we just cant anticipate where the ter- rorist will be. So establishments like the soft targets must take proper precautions. At the same time, peo- ple should not be overly anxious. Life should go on without too much worrying about terrorism. Importantly, all must stand united regardless of back- ground, race and status to combat terrorism. For example, a terrorist attack may be the fur- thest thing from your mind when a football match goes to penalties, but one terrorism expert thinks the comparison is useful. Professor Herbert Huppert of Cambridge University believes the key to coping with an attack is not unlike that to winning a penalty shootout. People need to practice the drills and exercises again and again to remember them. This is how so many Britons managed to survive the World War II air raids by escaping to shelters such as underground tube stations as they had been taught. And why, in con- trast, many Iraqi civilians, left to their own devices, died in air strikes during the US led invasion. People will behave differently depending on the leadership and the instructions they are given. The most essential thing is to achieve community involvement when dealing with terrorism and crime- a point Singapore authorities have raised in the past to prepare the public for a possible attack. The best way to involve the public is for the government to be as open and truthful as possible about the terrorist threats. It is only when we understand the psycholo- gy of the community; we can better equip ourselves for the consequences of any attack. In conclusion, in a dynamic and rapidly changing world, the twin threats of crime and terrorism will continue to be very real and alive. Therefore, the cooperation of every citizen together with the police force is essential and vital to our survival. No matter what the challenges that lie ahead and what the future holds for Global arena, I hope we will not give up hope and lose our mettle in our battle against Crime and Terrorism. Mr. Stephen CHEE Country Representative of IBSSA for Singapore IBSSA official publication 2006 7 IBSSA official publication 2006 8 His Most Eminent Highness Dom Lorenzo OSB Metropolitan Primate of the American Catholic Orthodox Church and Grand Master of the Sovereign Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, Knights of Malta, Federation of Autonomous Priories died on 14th December 2005 in a New Yorks Hospital, in the sequence of a massive brain hemor- rhagic stroke. Born in Madrid, Spain, on the 15th of May 1939, Lorenzo Abruedo Romero made his studies in the catholic seminar and later, in 1973, went to America where he joined the American Catholic Orthodox Church as a clergyman. Later he became successively a Bishop, Archbishop and Primate of his Church. In 1994 His Beatitude Dom Lorenzo OSB, as Metropolitan Primate of the Church, succeeded His Eminence Archbishop Count Michael Paul Peter De Valich who had been for near 30 years leading the Federation of Autonomous Priories and, on 22nd January of the same year, the Grand Council of the Federation in a meeting at La Valletta, Malta, reconfirmed Dom Lorenzo as successor to the vacant Great Magisterial See of the Federation. During his 11 years as the Head and Chief of State of the Federation, first as Regent and recently as Grand Master, His Most Eminent Highness Dom Lorenzo preformed brilliant work, conducing it to new stage of growth and development. In fact it was under the regency of Dom Lorenzo that several coun- tries recognized the Federation as a Sovereign State and its net- work of Embassies was created to execute the humanitarian program of actions of the Order. It was also in this period that the Order grew in number and quality of knights and expanded to other countries such as Hungary, Angola, Romania, Guinea-Bissau, Czech Republic, Portugal, South Africa, Latvia, and Israel among other, and that new institu- tions of humanitarian nature, as FEMERAID were created. Dom Lorenzo, the Grand Master, the Grand Knight has departed, and after his departure the Knighthood in general, and the Federation in particular, suffered a great loss. The Man has departed but he did not die, for only those who are forgotten die, and the Memory of Dom Lorenzo will stay forever alive in all those who have known him. Requiescat in Pacem. Jose Cosmelli, Knight of Malta Dom Lorenzo OSB in AETERNUM We announce with deep sorrow the death of our friend Sir John DORA Knight of Malta, Honorary Member of IBSSA, who died in tragic circumstances on 26th October 2005 in Budapest. All friends joined his family in bidding farewell at a funer- al service, which was held on Friday, 18th November 2005, at the Roman Catholic Cathedral of Pcs city, Hungary. During the memorial service the following high-rank- ing officials and members of international organisations held their farewell speech: Prof. George POPPER President of IBSSA made his speech on behalf of IBSSA, while 8 members of the asso- ciation were standing by the coffin as honorary guards. The commemoration on behalf of the Sovereign Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, Knights of Malta, Federation of Autonomous Priories was held by Sir Alexander OSZTER, while 8 Knights and Dames were standing as honorary guards by the coffin. H.E. Dr. John KARSZY-KULIN (GBR) Grand Master of the International Knightly Order of St. George held his farewell speech as well, while 2 Knights of the Order, who are also members of IBSSA, saluted at the cof- fin. Dr. Eriks GRINBERGS (LAT) Chairman of the Legal Department of IBSSA, Knight of Malta came to Hungary in order to attend the funeral. Sir Csaba KIRLY, KM invited all the present IBSSA members, knights of the Sovereign Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, Knights of Malta, F.A.P. and also the knights of the St. George Order to have lunch in Szekszrd. IBSSA plans to start a John Dora commemorative medallion and initiated to establish the JOHN DORA Foundation in order to support and help the training of talented young bodyguards and to reward successful bodyguards. Mrs. Katalin DORA PAPP daughter of Sir John DORA was requested to accept the position of being the chairman of the Board of trustees of the foundation. (IBSSA HQ) Final farewell from Sir John DORA 18 November 2005, Pcs / Hungary IBSSA official publication 2006 9 Eriks Grinbergs, IBSSA co-ordinator in Latvia, chairman of the IBSSA Legal Department, legal advisor of the Latvian Ministry of Social Affairs, became known within IBSSA in 2002 through his merits in the successful organisation of the Martial Arts competitions held in that year. Exactly three years later, in the middle of November, we talked to him about the results of this interna- tional event for Latvia. It has brought success and recognition, answered the young lawyer. I do not mean myself primarily, but our Latvian organisation. I do not mean it as crit- icism, but between 1997 and 2002 none of IBSSA leaders visited Riga, but since then the situation has changed. That event was primarily dominated by sports, as the best competitors of 12 federations of Eastern fighting arts met in Riga. They gave presenta- tions and lectures, competitions were organised and both professionals and simple interested people dis- covered IBSSA. This was the event which brought together Latvian sports federations of various fighting sports which had been working against each other before, but then they realised that the main issue was not which federation had the leading role as they had mutual interests. IBSSA was an important catalyst in this recognition. The audience, including official organisations too, began to inquire about IBSSA activ- ities. I dare say that the image of our association has strengthened after Martial Arts in Riga. What is the situation of civil security organisations in Latvia? More and more civil organisations are engaged in security activities in Latvia, but their operation is dif- ficult because the legal norms clearly defining the framework of their activities are not fully elaborated yet. The applicable EU norms have not been ratified in Latvia either. We have only been a member of the European Union for one year, our country has to ful- fil a lot of law harmonisation tasks and this example is one of them. We received a lot of assistance from IBSSA for elaborating internal guidelines, which makes our work easier. Naturally, there are organisa- tions which do quite a lot for building security organ- isations and relating sports organisations. Such an example is PENTANO company, where the president Genadij Seibutis and the advisor, Vladislav Kirilovskij with Hungarian sports relations have very significant international experiences. They contribute quite a lot to the development of IBSSA organisation in Latvia. What is your relationship with the other Baltic states? There are primarily sports relations, mainly through individual athletes or clubs. As far as I know, the other Baltic States also phase similar problems as Latvia. If we can help each other with our experiences, hopefully we can solve our currently existing legal problems very quickly. A bodyguard from Riga was awarded the diploma of best bodyguard in the traditional international training called SEC-tember. It could be a good sign for you for the First Bodyguard World Championship to be held in Florida next year. Are you training for this competition? Naturally, we intend to participate in this competi- tion. However, we need internal competitions first to select those who will represent us in the world champi- onship. Unfortunately, we have no experience in selec- tion, therefore we rely on the advice of Russian organi- sations of IBSSA with international experience in the professional preparation for the world championship. Dr. Vladislav Kirilovsky, Regional Representative of IBSSA for Baltic Republics: Strengthening the IBSSA organisation in the Baltic States is an important part of my work. Of the three countries, the organisation is strongest in Latvia, and as a result of my work, approximately 90 new mem- bers have joined the association. I am pleased to say that the members of the Latvian association include the minister of the former ministry of educa- tion and sciences and the minister of the ministry of interior. Unfortunately, no similar data are available in Lithuania or Estonia yet, although our members and organisations are active there too. In addition, Vladimiras Lisicynas country representative works in Lithuania, who was awarded the title of Instructor of the Year of 2004 in t his years Congress. I am happy to say that leaders of various Russian and Ukrainian security organisations have become members of IBSSA in Latvia We must establish legal norms IBSSA official publication 2006 10 When a foreign company chooses a Russian company for partnership, it is useful to check how this future partner functions. Of course, it is not indifferent from whom to receive such information. Moreover, there is also a security on daily basis, especially in decision making. There is a company in Moscow which assists in making reasonable and valid decisions. The General Director of the Management Information Systems is Victor Petrovich Petukhov. - Please, introduce your company what is its business, for what purposes was it estab- lished? - Management Information Systems was estab- lished in 1999 as a system integrator of the software assigned for decision making support. We engaged in development and installation Situation Centers, Information and Analysis Centers, Competitive Intelligence Centers. - What does competitive intelligence mean? - Competitive intelligence means the legal accu- mulation of the data and information about com- petitors due to know how do they work, what are theirs operating procedures and to use these methods in own company. The part of the competitive intel- ligence is the benchmarking. Competitive intelligence covers all methods, forms of activities, human resources, etc. But we have a more global approach. For these solutions we produce special software, but we ourselves do not engage in competitive intelligence procedures except some special contracts we carry out. We also supply Situation Centers for high author- ities Presidents, Ministers, CEO of big companies. These Centers could be in different forms depending on the client requirements: Situation Modeling Complexes; Complexes for Strategic Decision Support; Information and Analysis Centers (for example, of the Minister); or Competitive Intelligence Centers of big entity. This is the mean- ing and intent of our business. - Do you work for Russian or foreign clients or for both of them? Who is the main customer? - We work in Russian market actively since our partners generally are the government enti- ties. Two Situation Centers already func- tion in Governor s Administration in Sakha-Yakutia, Irkutsk. We have a solution in Belarus; work with some Russia regions such Vologda, Penza Region (Central Russia), Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan. We also will take part in a tender for the supply of Situation Center to the Governor of Tiyumen. - Is there any oil? - There is oil, gas, many other mineral resources. In Tiyumen they construct their own Situation Center. As long as the client is a state, it is necessary for us to take part in tender together with other companies. Although we are probably the only company which distributes such a commercial-off-the-shelf product and have successful implementation. We supply the product and by its means the full multilateral moni- toring of mass media plus analysis of information received form different sources are fulfilled. - How are your activities known? Is some- body searching for you or writing to you or vice versa? - This is a complicated question. This kind of busi- ness is rather close. In a general case we do not adver- tise widely except our Web-site on the Internet. And mailing is strictly direct. We work with the client state and they simply announce the tender for sup- ply of certain items, for example, supply of a Situation Center for the Governor. We monitor this information and in accordance with the law we send our documentation and take part in the tender. - Concerning foreign countries, now we actively cooperate with the South-East region: Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines. From other part we work with CIS countries, as I said, Administration of President of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and Belarus. Another region is the Middle East. There we have contact with Saudi Arabian authorities and have proposed them a special center for security of Hajj (pilgrimage). We offer software to guarantee the Business and security IBSSA official publication 2006 11 security of the pilgrimage process. This is a huge soft and hard complex which allows to monitor the situation how many people visit pilgrimage sites, for what period of time, what happened during the pilgrimage terrorist attacks, or if you probably have heard about the breakdown of the Jamarat bridge this tragedy happened because there was wrong direction of crowd. We elaborate the solution how to avoid crisis situation, how to dispose security forces, ambulance, crossing points. This solution we pre- sented to the Saudi authorities. - So, it is like pyramid, built from the infor- mation and on the top of it is an answer on specific question? - Yes. The basis is the information. We construct- ed our software with the simple module design: at the bottom there is a common database where all the information enters - it doesn't matter in what form text, audio, video, internet-files, any files existed. - You said the basis. And then? - After that we deliver the modules. They are like bricks. These bricks are settled on the top of the common database with the number needed by the customer. For example, we supply to the Governor a module of electoral preferences, a module of social health of population, a security module, a module of economy etc. The Governor chooses several mod- ules and we deliver them to the Governor s Situation Center. - How many people work in this project? - Not so many. About 20 people are involved in the work. Plus outsourcing in different cities, it became much cheaper. - Are you tracing the data? - We do not trace, we have mathematic models, which allow showing all the information space. On huge screens the customer observes consolidated information about what is happening in his region (ministry, company etc.). From a visualization point of view we propose a very wide range of visualiza- tion tools. For example, Governor of Sakha-Yakutia ordered visualization of the situation in the form of colored barometers where the situation is imaging interactively in colors from normal green to dan- gerous red, and the arrow points the evolution of the situation. Of course, when the pointer moves to red the Governor immediately calls the experts, the staff and asks what happened. After that he or his expert can trace down by indexes and other criteria and see what happened exactly and who is responsi- ble for the formation of the crisis situation. - You make the diagnosis like a doctor..? - We forecast, besides we forecast, the situation by way of a modeling experiment for certain period ahead, for instance, for a year. The experiment itself could be an extrapolation where the curve is moving up or down and we can predict with some accuracy that the situation would progress in a certain direction. We also carry out variation experiments where we ask What happens if..? The group of experts uses our tool - and we have some sliders as in equalizer and move this slider trying to answer, for instance, what happens if the government lowers the dona- tions for the some stratum of population or makes any other change. - And will you offer the ready-made solu- tion for them? - We give them technique, methods, procedures so that they will watch the situation forward and from different sides. - Do they listen to your advice during the desicion making? - Oh yes, the staff in Irkutsk, Belorussia, Sakha- Yakutia and others all the use our solutions. - The President can have many advisers, they give him wonderful suggestions, but he doesnt believe them - Understand your question and try to explain it in practice. The adviser is an engaged person. We collect the information from a wide range of sources includ- ing experts and use special tools and methods to level the experts approach. Besides, we give them a tool to use their own methods without any changes in soft, i.e. without additional use of the programmers. - Does generalization of your advices repre- sent an objective solution? - There is no objective solution; there is a solution close to objective. In reality there is no objectiveness as soon as there is no truth. There is something close to the truth. We offer our solutions, however the final decision makes the chief executive, VIP. We only give him a tool, learn his experts. But he himself bears responsibility for the decisions. - This is a big responsibility indeed! Or vice IBSSA official publication 2006 12 versa, your organisation doesnt bear respon- sibility since the decision makes other per- son? - As you understand, in such a hard case the prac- tice and the methods are very important. The first Center was installed at 1999 to the President of Ukraine Mr. Kuchma (we have another companys name but the same development engineers and con- structors). At this period our methods showed 97% hit that in general was incredible. The situation was the same: we answered on the inquiry from the President election authorities, whether it is necessary or not to spend of 20 millions to increase his rating. And he asks to our Center this question - Not so little money - Yes, this is a huge amount! He said, if I throw in this money? We begin to compute on our models and the answer that it is not necessary. If you push this money to the election the situation wouldnt change. There were a lot of competitors, about 15 people We said whether you make it or not, it wouldnt be better. He saved the money, his rating became the same, he won, and our solution showed efficiency. - That means this method was right and the usage was so right. - Yes. Usually exit-polls, interrogations, ratings gave less accuracy. - Do you penetrate on the market easily? - No. It is hard to conclude the contract. Our product could be lobbied through, that is the way some lobbyists are involved. These are high ranking peo- ple on the level of ministers, authorities in adminis- trations of the presidents who are interested in making our product work. You see, they will work themselves on our Center. - How did you meet IBSSA and what oppor- tunities can you see for cooperation? Some years ago I was introduced to IBSSA man- agement by Mr. Morozov, IBSSA Representative in Russia. After a while I offered to IBSSA the creation of a special information system that links all interested organisations members of IBSSA like a net on the basis of our software. This system can collect infor- mation and conduct analyses in the interests of the clients of these organisations and theirs clients. This system can fulfil inquiries from different countries and can model and simulate political, economic, social, security, aniterrorist problems of these coun- tries. The Center itself can be settled in the Central Europe - Czech Republic or Hungary. I believe that the Special Analysis and Information Center acting under the auspices of IBSSA the most authoritative and prestigious association IBSSA Slovenia is at first glance a small partner in a big family of IBSSA organization. But importance is not measured with size. With all activities, education and line of work we contribute to regional stability and security. Although Slovenia is a member of the EU and NATO that does not mean we can leave our security only in their hands. IBSSA Slovenia filled gaps in the arias of private and personal security that are most vulnerable. That is private safety. Our bodyguard training centre is an official IBSSA representative for region of ex Yugoslavia (Croatia, Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro, Macedonia). This means that all candidates for bodyguards must go through very hard training and education accepted and approved by IBSSA. It was founded in February 2002 under the leadership of Mr. Bogdan Vukosavljevic, MA Security and Terrorism. For the past four years he has been chief instructor for VIP tactics and security in IBSSA training centre Slovenia and other centres around Europe. More than hundred bodyguards from different countries graduated in our centre. Most of them are successful in their business. Requests for our bodyguards are high. They are known to be very pro- fessional and well trained. Our costumers are usually high profile persons such as politicians, actors and singers. In the past few years we organized several bodyguards courses in one year. In 2006 we will organ- ize five basic level courses in March, May, June, October and November. Advanced level courses will be in April and October. Mr. Bogdan Vukosavljevic Country Representative of IBSSA for Slovenia IBSSA SLOVENIA Small partner in size, big member in IBSSA organization.

IBSSA official publication 2006 19 IBSSA official publication 2006 20 Who has not seen hundreds of thousands of people covering the place, madly cheering pop starts? Who cannot list sports event where 50-80,000 fanatic foot- ball fans give voice to disagreement with the referees decision? In some places, the crowds are controlled by professional work; in others, things may turn into a tragedy. Our magazine asked the professional man- ager of Hungarys largest event security company In-Kal Security to summarise the basic concepts, principals and rules along which they work. When organising and ensuring security for events, some basic concepts and professional and legal regulations have to be made clear to be able to work smoothly and successfully. We talk about an event when some sports, cultural, political or social event or gathering is held organised by some structured community, association, public or civil organisation or pri- vate individual, where different people meet for some purpose just for once, periodically or on a constant basis. Event security means the total of measures and activities taken to ensure smooth realisation of the event and to protects the life and proper- ty of the participants. In retrospect it can be seen that private bodyguards and security services have emerged directly before the political regime change among Hungarian security businesses and have undergone a stage of quick development concur- rently with privatisation after the political regime change. The role of politics in the development of these security services The situation after the democratic transfor- mation played and important role in the quick development of event security as a branch of services, when the political change started to take place in Hungary together with the so- called street politics that accompanied it. This made it absolutely necessary to provide modern and efficient event security, which was not based on violence. At the same time, in further development of the experience gained the devel- opment of event security as a branch of security services started, and has emerged as one of the leading branches of the trade by today. Ever since events have been held, there has always been a need for supervisors, organisers or a staff or organisers whose traditional, classi- cal organisational tasks have not changed. Today, the events that accommodate hundreds of thousands of people regardless of their char- acter or purpose cannot make do without the well-trained professionals who are prepared to ensure that the event runs smoothly and the participants are not disturbed. The role of private security services (organis- ers) will never be the same as the polices law enforcement role, partly due to their powers and partly due to the lack of authorisation granted in legislation. Security services may perform their tasks on the basis of and in compliance with the provi- sions of Act IV of 1998; they are not low enforcers but only civilian organisers perform- ing traditional organiser tasks. Based on the current regulations, there must be at least 1 organiser employed per 100 partici- pants at the event. Private security services may not take over the polices role at events as the powers of security guards are limited and do not include statutory powers; and the other hand, in the course of per- forming a task jointly with a police officer, they enjoy increase legal protection as a person sup- porting am official person, and control powers are also increased. Co-operation between private security services and the police is indispensable when ensuring the security of events. The tasks of pri- vate security services cannot be rigidly distin- guished from police tasks at the entrances to the event venue. Where hundreds or thousands of participants are present, the behaviour of the crowd needs to be controlled within the Controlling hundreds of thousands The practice of securing events IBSSA official publication 2006 21 framework defined by law and compliance with the conditions for participation must be ensured. It is necessary to have a police officer taking part in the work, who may take the measures and follow the procedures of a required extent, exercising his powers, such as: security services may not take away prohibit- ed equipment or items particularly dangerous for public security from participant; instead, they may refer the person together with the item to the police officer in order to be able to take further measures, security guards may not check the identity of, or proceed against, people who commit wilful vandalism but may retain such persons until the police officer arrives, after which they pass the person over for the purpose of the procedure. The basic pillar for successful event security is fair and good co-operation with the police and organisers in the framework of which tasks are clearly distinguished and the extent and scope of responsibilities is clarified. The purpose of event security is to ensure smooth realisation of events, to screen and keep away unauthorised persons, to warrant the safety of persons and property of the participants, to safeguard the event location, to prevent vandal- ism, too protect public area, the environment and nature, as well as to prevent any attempts at dis- order, harnessing the persons creating disorder and to detach and remove such persons from the event with the help of official persons. As regards the types of events, they may be diverse: cultural, sport, political, economic, military Exhibits in the Hooligan Museum events or events related to family events, demon- strations, marches, religious ceremonies, religious processions. By venue of the event, we can talk about events to be held outdoors, indoors, in closed facil- ities, in private areas, public areas or private areas open for public traffic. What is a civilian security service empowered for? Before the service tasks begin, the field staff has to be briefed when the specific post, task and the method of keeping contact are defined in accordance with the security plan, the required equipment and tools are handed out, outfits and looks are checked, conduct to be shown concern- ing the audience at the event is defined, informa- tion about the event is provided and stand by peri- ods are defined. Security check of the location: investigating the condition of the stage, the pulpit or playing field or sports filed, seats, escape roots to emergency exits are checked, and are furnished with appropriate markings, fire protection check, checking for explo- sives, verification of the operability of light and sound equipment, testing of technical equipment for keeping contact, checking of parking lots. Security guards are authorised to conduct checks, check clothing and luggage of people enter- ing the event. If the event is private, people may enter only based on a list of names or invitation cards provid- ed by the Client, after conducting any other checks defined by the Client. In case events that may be visited with entry tickets, the purchase of the entry ticket constitutes a valid contract between the even organiser and the buyer based on which the organiser defines the compliance with to these rules must be ensured at the event venue. If the ticket owner fails to meet the rules, entry may be refused. In such events, the entrance procedure starts by validating the ticket and control (checking authorisation to enter). Ticket control is followed by the first stage of security check. This includes the checking of cloth- ing and luggage as an activity (security guards may not search persons). The checking of clothing may include no more than clothing, items, fixed on the body and lug- gage or bags carried by people. The check shall be conducted by security personnel of the same gen- der as the person being checked. If any person is spotted possessing any item dangerous for public security on entry, the person must be handed over to the police so that it can take the appropriate measures. If there is no police officer at the event, entry must be refused. We have been providing security for events attracting several hundreds of thousands of visi- tors such as Sziget Festival, Budapest Parade, T-Mobile Concerts or the sports events held at Pusks Ferenc stadium, which accommodate a sev- eral tens of thousands of viewers, with the help of the theoretical and professional concepts and legal regulations described above, with the help of In-Kal Security 2000 Kfts staff. Mrs. Imrn Vg In-Kal Security 2000 Kft Chief Director for Security IBSSA official publication 2006 22 Bodily search Bomb security and exploitation tasks repre- sent one of the least regulated areas of the Hungarian civil security profession, because even at present the bomb disposal activities on motorways and in institutions, bomb security tasks related to events are performed in the civil sector by ex-service and retired bomb disposal experts and security experts trained in the civil sector with a silent approval of authorities. The state, as the legislator, has been struggling to come up with legislation for this area for more than ten years now, although the social needs create more demand than may be covered with the bomb disposal staff of the Ministry of Interior and the Army, especially based on the increased number of bomb scares in the recent period. The impact of bomb threats spectacular- ly demonstrates weaknesses of the society, cre- ating chaos and panic among authorities and the population. On the other hand, the success- ful explosions highlight the success of perpetra- tors because they make the headlines in mass communications. The advantages of explosions for terrorists may be offset with active involve- ment and deliberate information of security services, civil organisations and the population. The brief historical review of bomb disposal and bomb detection activities in Hungary reveals the expectations of the society in this area. Following the Second World War, the First Independent Bomb Disposal and Mine Detection Battalion of the army had a national and exclusive competence for the disposal of military explosives. In addition to these tasks, they were also responsible for securing Hungarian and foreign individuals during their stay in Hungary in terms of bombs. The activi- ties had to be separated because of an increasing number of tasks and terrorist threats: the army is still responsible for the disposal of military explosives in public and private areas arising from military activities and negligent handling, while the police have been assigned with the task of managing improvised bombs and stan- dard military instruments relating to crimes. In addition, the police are also responsible for the bomb investigation at celebrations, events and in threatened buildings, disposal of detected bombs, expert analysis followed by destruction. Following an increase in the number of activ- ities, at the end of the 1980s trained bomb researchers emerged within the framework of the police forces and following the systemic change in 1989 the number of departments engaged in bomb disposal, bomb detection and similar activities appeared in more and more police units. Act IV of 1998 on bodyguards and security guards in companies as well as private detectives could not regulate bomb detection activities in the civil sector either, thus the Professional Chamber of Bodyguards, Security Guards and Private Detectives classified bomb disposal on motorways and in institutions as another activity. Several bomb disposal and bomb detection experts died or obtained permanent injuries from bomb disposal activities on motorways and institutions due to lack of legal regulations in recent years. The bomb detection tasks of bodyguards and security guards were rejected by the society due to lack of basic knowledge, because the irregularity of inadequate imple- mentation violated the intimacy of private indi- viduals. Only bomb detection activities performed IBSSA official publication 2006 23 Bomb safety in the civil sector Fatal accidents due to lack of regulations Mr. Csaba Kertsz within the framework of the police imposes a hazard on the safety of society, because the increased terrorist threats, erroneous bomb scares lead to a panic among the population and authorities. The authorities are unable to per- form the increased bomb detection tasks with its existing staff and therefore they follows the good example of some European Union Member States (e.g., Austria, etc.), and assigns civil secu- rity services to perform such bomb detection tasks in co-operation with authorities. The EU Member States have recognised the destructive effect of terrorism on the society and will sup- port research creating a basis for the fight against terrorism and protection of citizens with EUR 250 million from 2007. The European Union considers that terrorist attacks per- formed with explosives, chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear substances in public transport or in certain parts of cities represent realistic threats. The European Commission therefore has decided to support all research plans as a result of which the terrorist combat- ing system will become more efficient and effec- tive, security experts can recognise real terrorist threats and protect their citizens and democracy in Europe more effectively. Naturally, the responsibility of civil security services in their bomb detection activities is an issue among the increasing number of tasks as certain hazardous materials may be taken out of the control of authorities. Experiences of the EU Member States indicate that with adequate laws governing bomb detection activities and close co-operation between the civil security service and authorities can lead to good results in detection and research of bomb scares, reliev- ing authorities from a huge burden in this field. Mr. Csaba Kertsz IBSSA Head of the Bomb Disposal and Security Department IBSSA official publication 2006 24 In November 2005, Gza Halaska and Mikls Varga took part in the 46th INEOA Congress (International Narcotic Enforcement Officers Association) where they officially announced the establishment of Hungarian Narcotic Enforcement Officers Association (HNEOA). The main subject of this congress and the training following it included the role of bio and narco terrorism in the world and effective methods of action. Top technology in explosives research IBSSA experts attended a demonstration show of an equipment detecting explosives and hidden arms, an absolute novelty in the world, in Lisbon, in February. The demonstration was given by Sniffex company, operating in the United States and its Portuguese partner, Chelworth Investments Ltd. Dr. Abel Lacerda, IBSSA member, owner of the brand representation, explained that the tiny Sniffex explosives and arms detector, fitting even in a human palm, is capable of detecting various explosives and fire arms even at a distance of 15-30 metres, even if they are behind a metal plate or a wall. The device detects ions released from explosives and firearms. Several tests were demon- strated to the leading offi- cials of our association. Members of the brand repre- sentation added that newer, even more sensitive versions of the tiny, therefore unno- ticeable explosive detector will soon be available too. Establishment of HNEOA IBSSA official publication 2006 25 IBSSA Education & Qualification Dep. meeting in Budapest 24 Sept. 2005 Participating: Mr. Stephen CHEE Dr. Mikls VARGA Mr. Attila FARKAS (guest) Dr. Frank PHILIPOOM (guest) Dr. Rony KLUGER Chairman of the department 1 In future during all SEC-tember training courses and other official courses run by IBSSA, the training program and the team of Master Teachers will be coordinated by the Education & Qualification Department. Of course preliminary reconciliation with the Chief Organisers is necessary. 2 The Department Chairman will coordinate the work of the department members and the work of the Teachers and Instructors. 3 We will create a set of Forms to administrate and control the smooth run of the courses. The forms will ensure proper checking and controlling the par- ticipants data. The forms will help to ensure proper system of work between the candidates and Teachers, it will systema- tise testing procedures. The participants in future must provide: passport data photocopy, passport photo, and copy of driving license. 4 The candidates will be divided / categorised by their experience to ensure the best result of our teachings. 5 During the course accidents will be reported in writ- ing (special report form) to IBSSA HQ by the rele- vant Teacher. All accidents will be discussed and learned by our Department. 6 We advise that the Board of Directors will make sure that IBSSA badges include only Membership Cards with name, country and the title of full member + official position within IBSSA. The IBSSA Passport will include the profession and the professional credit of the member. 7 We call all members to keep our department rules as it has been formalised and published. During a special seminar held in Budapest, the President of IBSSA Prof. George POPPER and the General Secretary of IBSSA Prof. Rony KLUGER held an official meeting with Dr. Shraga SADE - Senior Expert Psychologist from Israel, a specialist in his field a very talented lecturer. As a conclusion from this meeting IBSSA created his new Department of Psychology. The department will be under the leadership of Dr. SADE. Congratulation and well come on board to our new colleague Dr. SADE . The Department will offer courses seminars to our members and will give advisory service on request. Further Training in Sopron The joint further training course of IBSSA and Folda International Bodyguard Training Centre was organised in Sopron, on the Hungarian side of the Austrian-Hungarian border, during the last weekend in June. Participants arrived from IBSSA countries to take place in special shooting situa- tion and combat training. In the programme, bodyguards completed an extreme physical, 11 km forest course, during which they were exposed to regular attacks, forcing them to escape. The other special event of the programme was organ- ised by Lake Fert, where students had to rescue protected people who had fallen into the water and took part in a water rescue training. Senior trainers: Dr. Mikls Varga IBSSA master teacher, head of the train- ing committee Attila Farkas IBSSA VIP master teacher Jnos Laub IBSSA Escort master teacher Csaba Somogyi IBSSA Bodyguard instructor Attila Vasnszki IBSSA Bodyguard instructor Pter Kmn water rescue instructor water rescue training. New IBSSA Department Psychology in Security IBSSA official publication 2006 26 For whom only perfect is acceptable Renshi Istvn KELEMEN (7 dan), one of the founding members of IBSSA, has large international reputation. When we sat down to talk after a dan exam, I asked him about fighting with a stick and knife. I wanted to know how he beat the world and how he could disable a steel-muscled meat colossus in just moments. My questions focused on fight, and I soon had to realise that we were talking about beliefs and ancient philosophy. What was really interesting is that even then we remained in our basic subject, martial arts. Istvn Kelemen founded the first private dojo club in Budapest from a military fighting club at the beginning of the 1980s. It became popular very fast. Young peo- ple queued to get into the club and become members. Many young people learnt about the basis of martial arts and later became known in this kind of sports or in other sports. Even wrestling Olympic champions visited the club. Istvn Kelemen learnt and taught. He visited the most reputable jitsu workshops of the world and learnt his actions from the best. In the meantime, as a civilian, he also taught the elite group of the police force for hand-to-hand fighting. He was a stuntman, became a high-qual- ity security expert and founded Testr Kft. in the summer of 1989. The company has been securing facil- ities and performed special personal protection tasks ever since. While building his own business, naturally he did not neglect jiu jitsu either, because it was also part of business. He was the president of the Hungarian federation for a long time, then he resigned and since then he has only been engaged in the profes- sional issues and techniques. It is mainly due to his huge contribution that Hungarian jiu jitsu fighters are mentioned together with the Finns. It is also the result of his impact that in Hungary approximately 600 adults train regularly in 30 clubs, and 300-400 children compete in a childrens competition. He is the chair- man of the Hungarian Dan College (this position is always held by the Hungarian citizen with the highest degree achieved). I teach and exercise martial arts and not ballet JJ styles compete with each other all over the world. Mr. Kelemen supports the full contact branch, with completely individual solutions. He believes if we know the physical side of the fight, for victory we must know the best technique of all styles and we have to find the right method for beating attacks, i.e., defence. He thinks force is most important, and believes in 100 % technique. In his opinion if a blow is not accurate, it is bad. However, those believing in a different style and approach still accept and consid- er good a 99 per cent blow, remaining with the expression of percentages. Kelemen sees himself proven with the practice of the professional world where his philosophy is applied. The terror combating organisations also operate with the same approach. This is what he taught to the members of the Russian state security organisation as well as in Israel. Many people are engaged, and perform well, in this branch of martial arts. Kelemen thinks that among the good ones the winner will not think in panels and apart from physical training will also conduct intellectual trainings. He believes that mar- tial is medication in motion. He can list examples indicating that knowledge of archaic and sacral literature helps a lot in the perfection of movements. Intellectual and phys- ical forces make a system work. And then he asks me a moral question too: if we manage to achieve perfect movement and man is unbeat- able, what guarantees that this knowledge will only serve good? He finds his answer in belief when he says that spiritual peace can be achieved through the purity of the soul. If this is the motivating factor, the movement will be implemented well too, guaranteeing that forces are not used for bad purposes. This is how we have got from suffocating and kicking to believ- ing. Would you ever have thought it? Folda International Bodyguard Training Centre opened two new offices and training centres on top of its existing eight facilities last year. International bodyguard training now takes place in New Zealand - Mount Manganui, and in Sweden, Malm, too. The future plans of Folda International Ltd. include opening of further training centres in the Ukraine, Serbia and Belgium. The long-term plans also contain centres on the South American continent. IBSSA official publication 2006 27 New training centres in Europe and New Zealand A traditional international training camp was organised on Lake Balaton, the Hungarian sea, with the participation of 30 foreign and approximately 100 Hungarian jitsukas. The Hungarian Ju Jitsu Federation has invited the traditionally strong trainers staff for the one-week training camp. As the Martial Arts Magazine, a special periodical published in the Hungarian language also stated, during the train- ing camp, sensei Istvn Kelemen (7 dan), chair- man of the dan section of the Hungarian Ju Jitsu Federation, tested a sportsman in an exam in front of the leading trainers of the Hungarian dan section and world association. Sndor Fvesi, instructor of Hdmezvsrhely, passed the exam successfully (3 dan). During the camp, the following masters and guests passed on their knowledge to participants: Vlado Schmidt (Germany), ju jitsu (10 dan), Giacomo Spartaco Bertoletti (Italy), WJJKO president, ju jitsu (8 dan WJJKO, 9 dan JJIF), Dr. Rony Kluger (Israel, 8 dan), goju kai tradi- tional Okinawa karate master, Auvo Niiniketo (7 dan), president of the Finnish Ju Jitsu Federation and founder of hokutoryu ju jitsu, Gnter Painter (Austria), ju jitsu (5 dan), tanto jutsu and kobudo master, Eyal Cohen (Israel) WJJKO (4 dan). At the end of the camp, the leadership of the world association and the Hungarian dan section awarded Istvn Kelemen master, founder of the Hungarian Ju Jitsu Federation and chairman of the dan section the 7th dan Renshi degree, and Attila Kovcs, president of the Hungarian Ju Jitsu Federation, the 5th dan Shihan degree. Harcmvszek Magazin International jitsu training camp on Lake Balaton Participiants of the training camp Mr. Sndor Fvesi during the Dan Eximination It was the second time we held a special qualifi- cation program in Israel, in the form of a week long course with quality instruction held in the Israeli Headquarters under the watchful eyes of the Head Master Prof. Rony Kluger and his staff. The course was a very successful event with very fine achievements of Mr. Jnos HLBER (A), Mr. Gyula SIRA (H), and Mr. Zsolt UDVARI (H), who has qualified successfully. The course covered professional aspects of Krav Maga as well as the art of teaching. IBSSA official publication 2006 28 IBSSA International Sport Federation The 2nd Special Israeli System of Military Self Defence - Krav Maga - Instructors Course Israel - October 2005 President of IBSSA - ISF ran a very successful training seminar in Cape Town, South Africa, October 2005 Excellent year of activities within the fruitful cooperation of IBSSA and the International Budo Academy. Some years ago IBSSA and the International Budo Academy signed an official agreement on cooperation. This cooperation turned into some major flourishing active cooperation during the last year. We started two new faculties: the first is the Faculty of Security Sciences and the latest one is the Faculty of Alternative Medicine. We also run some very successful clinics and training pro- grams in USA, Holland, Israel and of course in Hungary. IBA signed an agreement with the European Crime Prevention Institute under the leadership of Prof. Ferenc TTH . Within the framework of this agreement we run a series of very successful seminars in Budapest,with highly professional and famous lecturers from Israel in the field of Physical Security Systems, International Terror and the latest one is in Psychology. The Academic courses proved to be a great success. In Holland we put a firm ground under our activi- ties with close cooperation of two of our excellent leaders Dr. Eric Van De Wall, Dean of the Faculty of Alternative Medicine of IBA and Dr. Frank Philipoom the Head of the IBA Chamber in Holland. During 2005 we held three major events of Official Academic award ceremonies: one in Holland and one in Budapest and a very special one in the USA. During the 2005 AAU National Karate Championships IBA awarded Joe B. MIRZA AAU leg- endary president and IBSSA International Sport Federation Executive President the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy - Budo Education and Leadership. We are looking ahead to very active years of devel- opment to come. In the framework of the IBSSA - International Sport Federation activities the President, Prof. Rony KLUGER has been invited to teach a very successful seminar in Cape Town. High ranked Martial Art Teachers joined the activities which included training and a series of lectures. During the visit Prof. KLUGER met with local leaders of the Security Industry and visited local Police HQ. The visit had an excellent media cover. IBSSA official publication 2006 29 Establishment of the National Mounted Services Association The National Mounted Services Association, under the short name of National Mounted Guard was established in Budapest on 5 November 2005. The purpose of the new, non-political NGO is to provide social support to crime prevention, public order, environmental and home defence in the form of non-armed activities. The association was established around the main concept that if hobby riders always ride cross-coun- try, why cant they do it in a target oriented fash- ion. Horse riding has become a fashion, almost a mass sport in todays Hungary. Riding mills keep growing around cities, offering sufficient riding tuition as well as organised cross-country activities for their riders. Riders regularly visit land and sub- urban areas where order or environmental protec- tion agencies do not go at all or only very rarely. By co-ordinating cross-country rides of riding mills and setting targets, the riding sport can provide direct assistance in managing the above problems. Riding mills came up with a suggestion primari- ly in Budapest agglomeration whereby the cross- country rides of their riders should be connected with environmental protection or land protection tasks on a particular settlement, connecting pleas- ure with use. The National Mounted Guard oper- ates based on the objective of co-ordinating these ideas and intentions. On the basis of the environmental problems, the opportunity is obvious: local police forces and pre- vention patrols can monitor mainly urban proper- ties, but the countryside cannot be monitored by patrolling with a vehicle. Suburban areas are exposed to various types of risks, the most consid- erable of which include theft and robbery in week- end houses, farms and estates on remote locations, theft of produce and fruit on production land and orchards, illegal mass waste dumping around larger settlements and the spread of ragweed. Consequently, the most important task of the Association is to support the activities of defence police and security agencies, national guarding services and municipalities operating in the territo- ry of the Republic of Hungary, in co-operation with all public organisations and NGOs, as well as security companies interested in crime prevention, as well as citizens striving for creation, mainte- nance and protection of security. A further objective of the Mounted Guard is to provide a technical training and knowledge base for various mounted guard and patrol services in the territory of the country with the help of which committed riders can serve the public security and internal order of the country more consistently and efficiently irrespective of the specific organisation they belong to. For this purpose, we are developing a central education and training base, which will prepare riders and courses for the above objectives in accordance with a training and qualification sys- tem which is currently being developed. The Association develops co-operation with var- ious ministries, primarily the Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Ministry of Environmental Protection, County and National Agencies involved in crime prevention, the National Association of Hungarian National Guards and the Hungarian Hussar and Military Tradition Preserving Association for the purpose of crime prevention, public order, public security and environmental protection, as well as prevention of drug distribution and consumption. Co-operation should also be developed with disaster protection directorates and fire-fighting associations. For the purpose of fostering Hungarian riding traditions, developing the Hungarian riding culture and flourish riding tourism, the Association things that active participation is necessary in the imple- mentation of the National Riding Programme. IBSSA official publication 2006 30 Another very important objective of the Association is to develop close co-operation with the Ministry of Defence and its regional agencies in terms of non-armed defence activities, primarily training and education, attitude development of young people, teaching them how to be patriotic and prepare them for contractual or official service. International mounted guard officer train- ing in Hungary with Portuguese assis- tance In view of the fact that the same or similar servic- es already operate in other countries, including the Canadian Mounted Guard, the French National Guards and Spanish horsemen, all the way to famous Kazakhs with long historic tradi- tions, the Association takes a lot of steps to build and foster international relations. In this spirit, Professor Jos Cosmelli The Regent of the Sovereign Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, Knight of Malta, FAP., Portugese diplomat, Chairman of IBSSA Horse Riding Department, participated in the inauguration ceremony of Komrom Riding Mill, during which an agree- ment was reached on future cooperation. This mutual activity will also include the granting of international certification, the so-called mounted guard officer, by the Portuguese training centre apart from the Hungarian certification to all can- didates who must satisfy very strict requirements in this concept. This cooperation is personally guaranteed by Dr. Ferenc Kertsz, who is the man- aging president of the National Mounted Guard, and also secretary of IBSSA mounted section. As it was indicated above, the Association has set an objective of creating a collective organisa- tion based on wide social cooperation but strict technical knowledge and qualifications, which is open to all citizens without a criminal record if they have the required recommendations. The Association has a key target of developing qualifications and knowledge of its members and their certification based on strict criteria in order to guarantee professional and reliable cooperation with national and local agencies and organisations. Mr. kos Kenedi National Mounted Services Association President He is an American Hungarian citizen, 60 years old, with long red-brownish hair, typically in a pony tail, and a red, thick beard. He is very short, and careless people do not even count him in for a fight. However, he was trained close-range fighting both in the USA and the Middle East. He is an arms expert, an international security expert, international security consultant and arms master. He is very proud of his diploma from Pro Deo university, centred in New York; he is a doctor of security and protection sciences. Dr. Oliver L. Rozsa has been a member of IBSSA since 1997 and is the chairmans advisor for shooting. We met him in his home. While he carried on with a few things, he gave me some technical papers to look at. Of course, they were all about arms. I still remem- ber the title of two, one was called Military Small Arms, and the other Soldier of Fortune. I have loved arms since my childhood, he remembered the beginning. Im lucky because my trade is my hobby and my hobby is my trade. I dare say that I have always had a weapon on me since I left Hungary in 1968. Nowadays that I spend the majority of the year at home I still carry arms. I think we have grown together as I feel almost naked without them. Are you afraid? No, Im not afraid, but I think one has to be prepared for a potential attack because, unfortu- nately, we live in a dangerous world. My profes- sion orders me to the alert all the time. Do you take your weapons abroad too, or do you keep a few wherever you usual- ly go? I always have weapons on me in each country wherever the law allows it. E.g., I have a gun licence in the USA too, effective in 27 of the 50 states. So I Lover of weapons IBSSA official publication 2006 31 keep weapons and ammunition there, too. I also have a European gun passport to move guns around whenever go to competitions or to hunt. It is well known about you in the pro- fession that you received diversified training but your strength is shooting. My speciality is Middle East, where I spent years. I learnt and taught there. I worked as a bodyguard, expert and advisor. I also learnt in the USA, but I mainly worked there, carrying out several tasks. Of course, my work took me to other countries too but these two places dominated in my life. As far as I know, you also had a Russian employer. I have got good references. It is definitely to your benefit that even these days you finish senior com- petitions in the top positions. I take part in some competition each week. Recently, a new competition was launched in Hungary under the auspices of IDPA International Defensive Pistol Association which is very close to the situational competi- tion of bodyguards. Naturally, you can only shoot with a standard gun like in IBSSA com- petitions. The guns which may be used in IPSC open category have been equipped with an elec- tro-point laser target device, which significant- ly assists the accuracy of the shot. Otherwise I constantly train myself and lead courses all over the world. I love situational shooting in inter- national competitions in the 3-guns category including shotguns, guns and pistols. I have got good results. I am the Hungarian senior cham- pion of IPSC category, situational category. I have a team gold medal from an IPA competi- tion (International Police Association), I was second in the shotgun competition organised by IDPA in Kentucky, USA. Competitions are organised with machine guns regularly there, attended by former members of armed forces as well as representatives of the civil sector. These shooting competitions clearly assist the situa- tion recognition skills, speed, alertness, abilities and determination of bodyguards. I have seen some of your weapons. They are very rare and special. If I am right, my collection consists of approximately 50 weapons which unfortunate- ly cannot be kept at one place. I have hunting weapons, corporate weapons, these legal weapons, I have a shooting club, involving sports weapons, and I have got my own weapons which represent my own property. I have also got historical weapons, e.g., a World War One long-barrel machine gun, Luger, from Erfurt in 1914, including also a compati- ble sling, a leather case and wooden stock. I have a weapon which was used during the landing in Normandy in 1944, including a 45- calibre Thompson. Of course, these weapons are only suitable for individual shots. I have a P39 from Wermacht, the Second World War, which also includes a sling and a case. I also own modern weapons, various revolvers, a 45 colt, a BT96, which is the civilian version of MP. My name is also engraved in it, as it was specifically made for me in Switzerland. It is a special weapon because it carries my date of birth, in its serial number. My self-defence weapon is a Sig Sauer 228, 9mm one. This is what I carry on me each day. I also have a Walter, which was used in Luftwaffe, as a spe- cial weapon. New weapons are usually designed on the basis of old ones, they are mod- ified versions, therefore I of course regularly read the technical literature. I have very good understanding of not only old but also new weapons. I can say that I am up-to-date in weapons. What is your responsibility in IBSSA? I supervise and coordinate the activities of the Shooting Committee, and organise further training of IBSSA shooter members. In addi- tion, I am the shooting advisor of IBSSA presi- dent. Although we did not talk about it, but there is one more subject, which is very close to my heart, the fight against drugs. I think that two things threaten the world which is not in war these days, terrorism and drugs or I may even say narco-terrorism. This latter one is at least as dangerous as the spectacular bombings and massacres. This is why I represent IBSSA IBSSA official publication 2006 32 Honorary member Sndor Oszter IBSSA regularly invites famous people whose hon- orary membership increases the prestige of the organi- sation. Now we present a new member who is far from criminal investigation or defence responsibilities but could even be a minister of interior or bodyguard com- mander. For Sndor OSZTER is an actor. There was a stuntman school in Budakeszi where each morning began with us running up a hill with a sandbag on our neck twenty times and when even our liver hurt from the strain we started wall jumping. There was a gallery wall in the gym where we trained on which we had to jump hanging on to the wall with our finger- tips. Those who fell had to do another 50 press- ups. (I was always among the first five to fall.) This was followed by riding practice. We had to jump on a running horse, for which you had to take the pace of the horse, get hold of the horses mane and then pull yourself up with the dynamics of the horse. I was 28 years old when I started it. It was a splendid school. What do you still use from what you learnt in the stuntman school? Almost everything. There is a saying that a young twig bends but an old one breaks. Those who do not build their own base at a young age will collapse from the burden later. I used to train two hours a day then, and I can still rely on this basis. If someone is born to a buffer, he only has to learn to fall because everybody will kick him. But if someone is born to play huge, traditional heroic roles, he must understand the historical fighting methods, which required the base indi- cated above. Just think of Romeo and Juliet, con- taining huge fending scenes, Hamlet, and I could still give you a long list. In addition, the current action films could not be performed without training either. Thats why I learnt karate, judo; we trained with a sword and dagger and also learnt their medieval versions. On top of every- thing, we also had to practice riding tricks. How would I have performed the famous Hungarian outlaw, Sndor Rzsa, without all these? What about shooting? I am still good at it. Recently there was a com- petition organised by our- selves, hunters. We had to aim at 150 m, had three shots and I came first from approximately 50 hunters. This clearly indicates that you are strongly attracted to fighting sports and the use of weapons. Is this where IBSSA enters the picture? I am an honorary member of the organisa- tion. It has been true ever since the world of tribes that the more someone is equipped in self- defence, defence and attack, the better chance he has to survive dangerous situations. IBSSA has a rather good relationship with the Knight of Malta and recently you have also joined the order. What does being a knight mean to you? I have always been interested in the history of the various knight orders, including the Sovereign Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, Knights of Malta, but I thought that it was only privilege of the few selected by birth to join them. A knight always meant a warrior, fighting for a good rea- son. As long as this ideology existed, especially during the wars on the Holy Land, kings were eager to attract all knight orders so that they could fight in their colours. This kind of activity completely stopped by the Eighteenth century. These days, during the period of advanced infor- mation technology and super weapons a trans- formed knight order has entered the stage. Instead of taking a sword and joining a war, a charity, eth- ical association has developed. In my opinion the Knight Order is an organisation which is impor- tant diplomatically too, and is capable of many things. If various civil organisations also cooperate with each other (e.g., the Knight Order and IBSSA), our power will be multiplied. We might not necessarily perform our tasks in public all the time but the final result is what matters. This is the objective of my activities and I follow my knight predecessors in serving for good.
