COGAN
CONSULTING
HIPPOCAMPE FORMATION, COGAN CONSULTING’s subsidiary in MAYOTTE
Ever since it was founded COGAN CONSULTING has been a specialist in
innovative training processes which are aimed at the integration of diverse
profiles as well as the improvement in gaining necessary skills for specific
job types (contracts for vocational training, block-release training, overseas
contracts and individuals receiving support to return to work, staff who
require training which leads to a qualification).
On the basis of COGAN CONSULTING’s experience in training course
design, it relies heavily on training techniques such as active teaching skills
and education on « the state of knowing how to combine knowlege, knowhow and inter-personal skills ».
The effectiveness of this innovative concept, as regards jobs, which has
been recognised on a national scale was awarded a prize at the 2010
Trophées de la Sécurité (Security Trophy Awards) link and the 2011
Trophées de l’alternance et de l’apprentissage (Block-release and
Training Trophy Awards) link.
Boosted by this recognition, but also through its ambitious partnership with
LADOM, OPCALIA and the SMA since 2011, it only seemed natural for
COGAN CONSULTING to extend its expertise into the French overseas
departments and territories. The 2011 INTERDOM and an encounter with
a young inhabitant from Mayotte led to the introduction of the first phase of
this ambitious project. Fabien KINGUE, a young islander, heavily involved
in the development of the Indian Ocean Islands, immediately understood
the relevance of our method and wished to put it into implementation in
Mayotte. This was when HIPPOCAMPE FORMATION (TRAINING),
subsidiary of COGAN CONSULTING saw the light of day.
This was subsequently followed by a field trip conducted by a delegation
from COGAN CONSULTING in June 2012, and the following month a
visit from Fabien KINGUE (Manager HIPPOCAMPE FORMATION) to the
parent company’s head office.

Fabien KINGUE LOBE-PASSE
Interview with Fabien KINGUE LOBE-PASSE, Manager Hippocampe Formation.
How does Hippocampe Formation and COGAN CONSULTING’s partnership work?
«I was appointed HIPPOCAMPE’s Managing Director and Manager by the Shareholders. In this respect I’m responsible for relations with
organisations which arrange funding for continuous professional development training and with public authorities ensuring that current
regulations are followed, as well as with private companies and their representatives at the MEDEF (French Business Confederation) and
CGPME (General Confederation of small and medium sized enterprises). COGAN CONSULTING provides us with the opportunity of
liaising on a national scale and interacting with appropriate government departments. We also benefit from its experience and its training
expertise in all areas which we would like to develop on our territory.»
Can you outline Hippocampe’s projects for this year?
«Above all, we hope to address a major local issue, that is the regularisation of the status of several hundreds of security officers who are
currently working without a professional card. The Private Security Officer Certificate with the option of Port Security (Level V) provided by
COGAN CONSULTING is not only an effective solution to this problem but also an immediate one too. Without any doubt whatsoever, the
flexible modules of this Certificate will enable the needs of the Mayotte officers to be met with a maximum examination pass rate.»
Excellent. Are there any other key areas of development?
« Why, yes, of course! As a result of last month’s mission conducted by COGAN CONSULTING, we have already been approached by
several companies operating at LONGOUNI Port. Furthermore, an ambitious project for an agreement with COMBANI’s GSMA (Mayotte’s
Adapted Military Service Unit) is under consideration ».
Can you tell us more ?
«Whatever the scope of activity, Mayotte is a Department where everything remains to be done. What should be taken into account is
Mayotte’s ever growing young population with a very high rate of illegal immigration. In response to this situation the work carried out by
the GSMA has been exemplary for several years now. In order to reinforce the pre-vocational training courses provided at COMBANI, we
have proposed to work together focusing on two key areas:
• In advance, initial individual assessments and pre-training programmes leading to a qualification provided by COGAN CONSULTING.
• Upon leaving the GSMA, the trainee will be entitled to individual support with local employers by means of training courses, which will
lead onto a qualification. These training courses are the result of COGAN CONSULTING’s training expertise and encompass a range
of trades all of which are recognised by the SMA.»

EAMUS CORK
SECURITY
Le PIF, the port version central to EAMUS CORK’s expertise
In response to the Prefectoral Decree dated 9th May 2012, on 1st July 2012 a PIF (Security Checkpoint) was officially activated at the
entrance to the ZAR (Restricted Access Zone) at Loon-Plage’s Ferry Terminal.
Just as a reminder, in accordance with the Decree dated 4th June 2008 link, apart from acting as a deterrent, the purpose of these checks
is to search for:
• firearms, explosives and explosive and incendiary devices.
• items the possession, carriage and transportation of which are prohibited by maritime legislation,
• presence of intruders within the ZAR, in heavy goods vehicles and any other category of vehicles.
• items the carriage of which are prohibited on DFDS ferries (according to Terms of Carriage and the IMDS Code).
Security checks are carried out on all client flows (heavy goods, coaches, passenger vehicles) and all individuals authorised to enter the
ZAR (inspection of access permits and checking of luggage, vehicles and passengers).
These new missions, made in close collaboration and coordination with relevant authorities in accordance with Article 5332-6 of the
Transportation Code link, which clearly specifies the authorisations required to implement these checks, are in addition to the provision of
port security services already in place on other port sites along the Côte d’Opale.
The functioning of the PIF depends on measures covered by link.
For reference, EAMUS CORK SECURITY operates its security visits at the Port of Dunkirk on behalf of DFDS SEAWAYS (Ferry Shipping
Company), Terminal Flandres (NFTI Container Terminal) and RUBIS Terminal (Storage platform for petrol and chemical products and
processed food-stuffs). Pursuant to the Decree of September 2009 link, its « ACVS » officers (whose duty it is to carry out security visits)
receive prior training from COGAN CONSULTING for these specific missions. To date, they hold a double accreditation awarded by the
French State Prosecutor and the Prefect of the Nord-Pas de Calais Region.
ACVS training courses:
• ISPS awareness,
• ACVS training (theory and practice),
• Searching of persons (body frisking),
• Handling detection equipment (X-ray scanned image analysis of customer luggage, explosive
particule detection)

The expert’s opinion: Jean-Paul LINGRAND, Managing Director, EAMUS CORK CONSULTING
We’ve all been looking forward to this, the installation of the very first PIF at a reference Port, such
as Dunkirk’s has been a complete success! This success is not only the result of perfect cohesion
with relevant authorities but also due to trustworthy customers. In fact, I’ve been very fortunate to
have been the consultant for what is now a little more than a year in charge of the implementation at
all stages of the project’s development, like drafting technical specifications and the tender process
to prepare for the arrival of the detection equipment and also in collaboration with the NSA (Nuclear
Security Authority) ensuring that the operation of the equipment was compliant.
On basis of appropriate operation procedures, we carry out report management, such as monthly summary reports of checks conducted,
possible variances with goals, major security incidents for the month as well as an analysis of available resources.
This fully mastered concept can be offered to most port installations throughout the world which are governed by the ISPS Code. We have
already been approached in relation to this.

EAMUS CORK and the SNES: Working together to shape security
NICE 2012: the SNES celebrates it’s 20th anniversary
Benoit ADELINE et
Michel FERRERO President of SNES
To mark its 20th anniversary, the SNES (National Union of Security Companies) organised its annual
congress held in Nice on 20th and 21st June 2012. More than 150 companies from all over France and
overseas territories attended this event. EAMUS CORK SOLUTIONS, represented by Benoît ADELINE,
head of the company and also member of the Board of Directors of the Trade Union over the past 2 years,
figured amongst the attendees.
What is the purpose of joining a professional Trade Union such as the
SNES?
Belonging to a professional union such as the SNES link enables
us to monitor legislative and statutory changes, to anticipate
social developments and to be aware of concerns raised by other
members. The consideration of all these factors allows us to
ensure the viability of our activity. Acting at Board level gives us
the opportunity to exert influence on these changes and to make
coherent proposals founded on what our companies encounter on
a daily basis.
What key subjects were discussed at the Congress?
2012 is a crucial year for structuring private security activities and
also one which will be difficult from an economical point of view.
Every year our companies are subjected to increases in social
charges which are not always easy to pass onto the selling price.
For example, on 1st January 2012 social charges increased by
3,85 % and we forecast that the « hourly cost price » for a security
officer with a coefficient of 120 will have incurred yet again an
increase of 5.59 % between 2011 and July 1 2012.
What about 2013 ?
As the Chairman Michel FERRERO outlined: « Although it is
still too early to calculate and justify with certitude the effect of
announced government measures, including the loss of social
charge exemptions on overtime from autumn 2012, what we can
anticipate at this stage is that for the beginning of 2013 social
charges will increase between 5 – 6%».
The systematic practice by buyers to find the lowest bid combined
with the problem of more restrictive legal regulations and the
increase in the social and fiscal rules are dragging our companies
into a vicious downward spiral of substantial loss resulting in an
increased number of closures of security companies.
France’s security industry depends on the customers’ purchasing
policies who must take into consideration the true value of our
services (social costs and technical skills). We are working
towards this with the SNES, to demonstrate that security is a real
job and that the men and women who do this job are recognised as
true professionals. A methodological guide to purchasing security
services has been put together link in collaboration with the DISP
(Interministerial Delegation for Private Security) with this aim in
view.
Will this development lead to new legislation?
Different guests, such as Mr Jean-Louis BLANCHOU, Prefect
and interministerial delegate for private security and Mr Jean-Yves
LATOURNERIE, Prefect and Head of the CNAPS, both of whom
played an active role at the congress, are unanimous about the
fact that our industry must move forward in close alliance and work
within a structured framework governed by regulations (compulsory
training courses, professional card, certifications, checks)
towards a complete overhaul of the Law dated 12th July 1983, to
include port security. EAMUS CORK represents the SNES at the
Committee Maritime Security as part of the COESS (Confederation
of European Security Services) link and works on a European scale
on the standardisation of maritime security regulations.
Is the profession not at risk in light of these forecasts?
Since the beginning of the year, security professionals have an
independant monitoring body, the CNAPS (National Committee
for Private Security Activities) link. This body, financed by the
introduction of a new tax, should enable through extensive security
checks conducted by all the companies, to restore the health of the
security industry, which until recently was polluted for far too long
by companies failing to scrupulously comply with legal, social and
fiscal regulations.
From a very different angle, there are drastic consequences when
there is a « price war » as we have just seen with NEO Sécurité.
As a result, it is impossible for us to meet the social expectations
of our colleagues.
