Dr. György LASZ (1947 - 2003)

Not only the profession and the police staff but also hundreds of thousand of newspaper readers and television viewers were staggered by the news on the tragic and sudden death of the well - known security entrepreneur - manager. Dr. György LASZ was one of the most popular and skilled security and police experts, who gave interviews very often to national journals and trade papers. We could see him regularly in the "Kék Fény" programme of the Hungarian Television, and also in the police programmes of the commercial TV stations.

Dr. György LASZ was police and international security expert, doctor of Security and Protection Sciences, CEO of In-Kal Security Co., Member of the Executive Committee of IBSSA, Chairman of the Event Security Department and International Security Director of IBSSA, Expert of the Policing, Youth and Sport Committee of the House, Board member of the "Budapest Chamber of Trade Unions Personal and Property protection and Private investigation" (SZVMSZK), Security Manager of the Hungarian Football League.

He began his career in 1967 as patrol of public security at the Police Office in Budapest, but the ambitious young policeman became soon detective, in order to gain significant experiences thereafter as the leader of the Investigation Department. He could use furthermore these experiences with success as the media expert of the Ministry of Interior. After the change of regime the leadership of the PR Office of the Interior Ministry portfolio was entrusted to Dr. György LASZ, and at the same time he became also the spokesman of the Ministry. He asked for his retirement because of his impaired health in 1992. He superannuated as police colonel, ret. ministerial counsellor 11 years ago, and in the same year he established the In-Kal Security Co., which became soon one of the biggest civil security companies and after several years it stepped in the line of the leading companies in the continent. In-Kal Security Co. was corporate member of IBSSA and with its activity it established fruitful and successful relations to other members. Dr. György LASZ organised numerous very professional IBSSA events including the Bodyguard Ball and his company also assisted the I. "SEC-tember" IBSSA International Special Security Training Course and other training camps.

Not so much before meeting an untimely end that occurred with a tragic suddenness Dr. György LASZ started in to enlarge the activities of In-Kal Security Co. The continuation of this work now is waiting for his successors and co-owners. The Ministry of Interior gave Dr. György LASZ a ministerial funeral, which took place on the 16th May 2003 in the Fiumei cemetery.
