To honour this remarkable journey, RKSZ hosted an extraordinary gala on 29 March 2025 under the patronage of General Dr. József Bencze, in the iconic Gundel Palace, nestled in the beautiful City Park, which celebrated its 130th anniversary last year. 

At the invitation of the organisers, the evening was graced by members, partners, trainers, and distinguished guests, who gathered around beautifully decorated round tables in the impressive Queen Elisabeth Ballroom of Gundel Restaurant and Café.

The event commenced with a warm welcome and a brief historical review by Dr. Géza Györki, CEO of RKSZ. This was followed by a heartfelt award ceremony, during which exceptional individuals received commemorative certificates and medals as tokens of deep appreciation for their invaluable contributions, successful collaboration, and the strong partnerships built over the years. These awards stood as a testament to shared achievements, trust, and mutual respect.

The honoured award recipients included Dr. István Komáromi, retired police brigadier general, songwriter, and singer; Prof. George Popper, President of IBSSA (International Bodyguard and Security Services Association); Dr. Frigyes Janza, retired police major general; and Jenő Magyary, Director of Gundel Restaurant. Their unwavering dedication to law enforcement training and leadership has left an indelible mark on the community.

In addition, executives of IBSSA Hungary Zrt., a prestigious security company – Mr. Szilveszter Tánczos, Mr. Tamás Sipos, and Mr. Augustin Cernic – presented special tokens of appreciation to esteemed guests in recognition of their outstanding contributions.

As a distinguished guest and key partner of RKSZ, a renowned businessman Mr. István Hajós delivered presentation on the extensive humanitarian and charitable initiatives of his foundation “ONE STEP MORE – ADOPT A FAMILY!”. The program is dedicated to fostering a spirit of generosity and providing vital support to families in need.

The organisers were honoured to welcome their esteemed guests and regretted the absence of those who were unable to attend due to illness. This unforgettable milestone will be fondly remembered in the history of the Association of Law Enforcement Trainers.
