The process of selection phsychical and psychical training for manned security service

Abstract

The origin of personal protection as a profession to earn a living dates back to the distant past in history. The claim to protection is an automatic concomitant of the development and differenciation of society. During their development different social systems have always aimed for organising the protected person’s safety in the most efficient way. One of the most extensive force behind it is terrorism, an asymmetric warfare, that has been threatening our modern world more and more frequently and in varied forms. Widening extension of crime — interspiring certain segments of society — with its technical and intellectual development can be remarked among these forces. In the early period of human history a leader was chosen by the group (horde) living in the same living conditions. Becoming and being accepted as a leader was attained as part of a mystical, external power. According to people’s belief the leader’s state of being or the change concerning his person was not rendered by human element. Therefore the need of protection did not even emerge. Along with the development and gradual differentiation of society the elementary forms of protective measures and activities were worked out, and they have developed to high level by present days.

A személyvédelemnek, mint pénzkereső foglalkozásnak az eredete, történelmi léptékkel mérve is igen messzire nyúlik vissza. A védelemre való igény felmerülése a társadalom fejlődésének és differenciálódásának, önkéntelenül is a velejárója. A különböző társadalmi rendszerek, fejlődésük során mindig is törekedtek a védett személy biztonságának, mind hatékonyabb megszervezésére. Ennek egyik legátfogóbb mozgatórugója a terrorizmus, aszimmetrikus hadviselés, mely manapság modern Világunkat egyre gyakrabban és egyre változatosabb formában fenyegeti.
