Bodyguard and Security / 1st Issue

10 years of IBSSA – official publication
Well, here we are, celebrating of achievement in making our world a safer place by making
sure that individuals, politicians and corporates are kept safe.
There is no doubt that data collecting and counter terrorism is high stake for IBSSA.
But so is our promotion of individual self-preservation. It is a fact that a government can
only do so much to make people physically safe. With IBSSA teaching people how to protect
their families and employees, we are helping the state to do better. The message, it
seems, is being clearly understood by many strata of society, and that is as it should be.
May I say, on behalf of the Board of Directors, thank you to all those members and
friends who have helped made IBSSA what it is today. You may be sure that your help,
support and commitment has been to us invaluable and we are looking forward to working
with you for the next ten years.”
With IBSSA's thanks,

Dear reader,
With great pleasure we introduce you the 10th Anniversary publication of IBSSA.
The leading international federation of security was founded in 1994 by 14 representatives of 8 countries of 5 continents.
As you can read our history in the following pages, today IBSSA is present nearly in every country of the world.
We are having close cooperation with numerous important international federations on peace, security, drug fighting and
many other law enforcement and humanitarian organisations.
The members of IBSSA are large security companies, security federations and organisations, security experts, instructors,
master teachers and world famous personalities of security.
IBSSA has nearly 50 departments, which deal with many important subjects, such as: education, VIP protection, security
of cities, rescue operations, security of nuclear power stations, airports, internet, event security, etc.
Many world famous experts are teaching in the IBSSA system, we have universities, high schools and training facilities in
over 20 countries.
When you go through this issue you will be acquainted with many parts of the activities of IBSSA.
I believe you agree with me that the 10 years activities and work of IBSSA were very successful. IBSSA today is the
world Nr.1 security organisation. An NGO with worldwide respect.
Leaders of IBSSA are presidents of states, members of royal families, world famous experts, Knights of Malta and other
orders, high-ranking church leaders of different religions, presidents and high officers of other international federations and
prestigious companies, high ranked officers of police, army and law enforcement.
To reach the fantastic results was only possible with a very professional team.
Hereby I would like to express my thanks to all my colleagues, all active IBSSA members,
who did their best in their place. Without their support, knowledge, hard work and other
activities this development would not be possible!
Thank you and congratulation to the common success!
I wish good health for the future because the tasks of IBSSA are rapidly growing, there is
much to do; we need everybody who is able and wish to do something for a safer world
and better security worldwide.
