The main aim of the article is to present general information on THE HOUSE project. This project aims to achieve coordination in the security planning of major events in Europe and contribute towards the adoption of a common policing approach at European Union level. Having identified major events as an area in need of international coordination, the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) — as project coordinator — launched its global programme on major events in 2002.THE HOUSE Project is the follow-up to two previous European Commission funded projects, EU-SEC and EU-SEC II. Nowadays it involves 24 European Union Member States. Poland is represented by the Police Academy in Szczytno with the encouragement of security planners from the National Police Headquarters and the Polish Ministry of Interior. The main Polish role in the project was to host two major events: the European Football Championship, which took place in Poland and Ukraine in June–July 2012 and the CEV Euro Volley organized in September 2013. In conjunction with these events there were two study visits organized for the project task team members and “standard owners”. Hopefully in the long term, the maintenance and expansion of the network of security practitioners,methodologies and technical tools will ensure the impact of The House goes far beyond major events security as it contributes to the realization of the main security priorities of the EU — the Stockholm Programme and the EU Internal Security Strategy (ISS).

Capabilities of monitoring P2P networks for illegal content sharing have increased substantially with the databases containing illegal content information reaching their operational capacity. Easy data gathering and processing has become possible thanks to the employment of the hash function.. Unfortunately the law enforcement agencies and p2p users are locked up in a sort of an arms race. With the steady rise in monitoring capabilities grows the number of processed files stemming from the ever increasing popularity of the video recording equipment. At the same time vast majority of the existing systems do not allow for fast and effective transfer of monitored information. Identified illegal files added to a hash cache in Norway not necessarily find the way to a data bank in Portugal. With the amount of data growing exponentially international law enforcement community concurred on creating platforms to effectively collaborate and share information about the files containing illegal content. American company TLO devised a system supporting p2p networks monitoring and user identification procedures in the area of child pornography. The system is a set of extremely useful instruments that may dramatically enhance the effectiveness of child porn countering. Great recommendation of the system is its successful application by the law enforcement agencies in the USA, United Kingdom, Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

Modern emergency vehicle driver training demands the employment of organizational and technical solutions whichallow training in situations typical of the tasks that they undertake. Training in fast driving is one element of this process. Availabletechnologies allow us to supplement this process with training aimed at gaining an ability to react in situations too dangerous to beimplemented on the training track. Account must be taken of vehicle failures such as tyres bursting at high speed, as well as terroristattacks, chases in urban areas with heavy traffic, and so on. The driver must be able to deal with obstacles including blockages createdby other vehicles, react to deliberate collisions and attempts at “being forced off the road”, and use the vehicle as an instrument of force.All this should be undertaken in differing weather conditions with different frictional qualities of road surface and in different areas:mountains, plains, woodland, etc. The ability to implement such training in a cost-effective and at the same time safe manner canonly be done through the use of vehicle simulators. One of the few available solutions dedicated to drivers of emergency vehicles, thattake into account the requirements outlined above, is the Emergency Vehicle Driving Simulator for Typical and Extreme Conditions.

Having a comprehensive construction concept in respect of computer simulation techniques used in simulators — systemsfor the training of security forces using technologically advanced trainers — is an unquestionable requirement in the current eraof technological development. Such concepts provide a basic compendium of knowledge which is particularly useful for those whoare not involved in simulation on a daily basis, but are planning to build similar systems. The authors present a range of solutionsthat may be used in the creation of an integrated simulation system for training security forces. The platform presented, whichis a federation of the simulation systems used by professionals responsible for security, will enable many participants to be trainedin interacting with each other. The solutions developed for the exchange of information, and the interoperability of the platform,ensure that it has the capacity to adapt to future requirements. The developers needed to meet the requirements in termsof quantity of data exchanged between the federation components involved (termed “federates” within the system) which resultfrom the special characteristics of the systems of training for security services. The integrated solutions ranging from small scalesimulation systems for training operators of pyrotechnical robots using a vehicle simulator through to simulation systems fortraining activities at a tactical and strategic level, that enable the simulation and visualization of crowds of many thousands,demanded the expansion of existing standards and an innovative approach to the issue. This study can be regarded as a conceptfor building simulators matching the desired outcomes, especially those that depend on modeling large numbers of independentagencies and forces along with the resources of relevant services. Particular emphasis is given to the practical aspects of creatingintegrated simulation systems and the universality of the study, and this may be of interest not only to academics and thoseworking on various aspects of simulators, but also to practitioners who want rapidly to reach a desired outcome through selectionof the indirect solutions available.

Intensification of threats in recent years in Poland has exposed many imperfections in the system of disaster management at many levels - national, regional, and, most importantly, local. Lack of integration of IT systems of institutions responsible for crisis management has often led to information chaos and inability to perform basic tasks in this area. In crisis situations which occur in Poland – that is disasters with catastrophic consequences – there exists a real risk of failure to perform required operations. The article presents an outline of Japanese crisis management system. It describes research conducted by Japanese institutions related to disaster management, and discusses information and decision support systems. The article focuses on mutual integration of such systems and data flow among institutions and parties involved in the preparation, response and dealing with consequences of crisis situations. It also presents principles of operation of the Metropolitan Disaster Research Center, which conducts research and works as a crisis management center for the city of Tokyo. The authors presented four institutions which are vital for the Japanese system: JAMSTEC, NIED, E-Defence, and Tokyo Metropolitan Disaster Research Center. Technical and technological solutions existing in the above institutions may be a model for systems built in Poland and the world, especially since the whole system has recently undergone a serious test as a result of the disaster that struck Japan on the 11th of March 2011. The test that, according to many observers, proved that Japanese system of disaster management can be given the highest rating.
