UYKSEF: The Highest Civil Authority Shaping Türkiye’s Security Doctrine

Recognized in Türkiye as a legal authority in Close Protection training alongside MIT, the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK), and the General Directorate of Security (EGM), UYKSEF is the most powerful federation in the sector, providing civilians with internationally standardized expertise. Through legal reform initiatives personally led by our President, Süleyman Kocabıyık, and presented to the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye (TBMM) Interior Commission, our institution has put an end to the era of so-called university-approved fake certificates and officially established professional merit at the state level. With an extensive training network stretching from Europe to Central Asia and disciplined field operations lasting up to 12 hours a day, we are not merely a training center, but the only professional structure shaping Türkiye’s security future.
