48th Annual International Drug Enforcement Training Conference of INEOA October 7 – 11, 2007 Daytona Beach, Florida

At this year’s annual Congress and Training of INEOA, there were three person representing the delegation of IBSSA:

Mr. Géza Halaska
Dr. Miklós Varga
Mr. Tamás Török

As part of this four (4) days congress, there were special training sections, where real situations (including “undercover” actions) were analysed and broken down to small pieces, in order to learn from any possible mistakes and use them as a learning experience for all of the men and women out there who are risking their lives day by day, hour by hour.

*(As every year - this year could not pass either without some losses of brave man and women. Let us salute to those and to those loved ones, - as we also did it on the congress with all.)

There was a very interesting part of this training session, where Instructors analysed (with interaction of the whole group) applying and the necessity of “Force”. Separating the “deadly force” from the “non deadly force”.

At some point we were able to recognise an interesting experience. As part of the section, we recognised a similar training system (extreme stress training system) they are using here in the US, - the same way as we (IBSSA) are using it from a while at the Hungarian FBI Academy. During the training we had to admit that the system what we use at IBSSA - at some points - is more efficient, in some cases is more advanced than what we experienced at the congress. I am also sure in that - we may did feel this way because we did not have a chance to experience the whole system in this short period of time. At this point we would like to lift it out and to say our “Thanks” to Dr. István Farkas and József Végh for their personal expertise, Instructions and the quality level of the trainings, they are providing to us during the years.

One of the most excited part of the trainings was the lecture and Instruction on “Terrorism”, and the connection between ‘Terrorism” and “Narco-Terrorism”.

At the last day of this training session participants were able to learn the aspect of the detection of drug market thru the Internet technology and were able to practice how to question, listen and use witnesses to any related cases.

We need to address our special “Thanks” to Mr. Noonan (DEA) and to Mr. Bastianelli (Special Agent) for their Instruction and participation. All the staff - but these two individuals - did a phenomenal work during this week. We also had some discussions about some future training together - with participation of INEOA, of some local Law Enforcement Agencies and IBSSA (in partnership with Folda Usa, Inc.).

One other spotlight of the event was that Mr. Géza Halaska got nominated to be a member of the Board of Directors at INEOA. At this point - the final decisions will be made later on.
