International Narcotic Enforcement Officers
Association (INEOA) organised its 43rd Annual International Drug Conference
between 14 - 18 October 2002 at Orlando / Florida, which was again a very
successful and high-level event.


As a result of the fruitful cooperation between the International Bodyguard
and Security Services Association (IBSSA) and the International Narcotic
Enforcement Officers Association (INEOA) more and more active IBSSA leaders
become members of INEOA and attend the yearly conference.


This successful cooperation between the two organisations led to the
setting up of C-NIS (Center for Narcotics Information Support) last year
with the leadership of Mr. John L. MACZKO (CAN) - Chairman of Narcotics
Policy Department of IBSSA, Director of the Board of INEOA, who participated
at this event as representative of IBSSA and C-NIS. After the conference
INEOA and C-NIS agreed to establish relations and to start a mutual and
fruitful cooperation in the field of special trainings, drug prevention
and development of technologies.


The following IBSSA officials were also present at the conference


  • Dr. Edward S. LENTOL (USA) - Honorary Member of IBSSA, President of
    IPA for the United States Section
  • Dr. Miki VARGA (HUN) - Member of Education and Qualification Department
    of IBSSA, Administrative Director of C-NIS
  • Dr. Oliver L. RÓZSA (USA) - IBSSA Instructor
  • Dr. Alexander HEVESI (AUT) - Country Representative of IBSSA for Austria,
    Director of C-NIS in Austria
  • Mr. Heinz PICKL (AUT) - Member of IBSSA, S.W.A.T. Instructor

The main subject was - during this high standard event and on the special
courses - the bio terrorism and also "narcoterrorism" which
has surfaced as a serious problem in the efforts to control international
drug trafficking. All participants had the opportunity to attend special
law enforcement training sessions, which were sponsored by Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA).


It is a great honour and high recognition for IBSSA, that Dr. Marko NICOVIC,
Knight of Malta (YUG) - Vice President of IBSSA and Chief counsellor of
the Yugoslav Head of State was appointed 1st Vice President of INEOA by
the Congress.
