Jed,
Thanks for the interesting posting !
I work with most of Estonia's various LE agencies and we often attend conferences and seminars together, due in part to Estonia's unique structure. EOD and post blast falls under Rescue, not LE and demining falls under Rescue, not the military.

We used to do several Marcus Evans' seminars/conferences. Not that they were bad (contacts are also considered a good thing), but not relative to our cultural problems and not cheap either.

Estonia is among the few success stories. Most of our OC are in hiding or returned to the 'mutha land'. Going from an IED or military ordnance-related explosion a day in 95 to less than 2 a year in 2006. Latvia and Lithuania are dealing with this 10-fold as we type.

We really never had the sex slave problems; most of those were volunteers from due east.

I will gladly pass on this info to our LEs if you could send me the link(s).

Regards, Stan
