What is the IPA? |
|
The International
Police Association is an independent body made up of members of the police
service, whether on active duty or retired, and without distinction as to
rank, sex, race, colour, language or religion. Its purpose is to create
bonds of friendship and to promote international co-operation.

It
is committed to the principles set out in the
Universal Declaration of
Human Rights as adopted by the
United Nations in 1948. Its aims include
the development of cultural relations amongst its members, a broadening of
their general knowledge, and an exchange of professional experience; in
addition, it seeks to foster mutual help in the social sphere and to
contribute, within the limits of its possibilities, to peaceful
co-existence between peoples and to the preservation of world peace.
Membership of the
International Police Association is open to serving and retired policemen
and women of all ages. Each
member country (IPA Section) is permitted to
apply its own criteria for membership as to who can or cannot be regarded
as a police officer for the purpose of membership. Each Section also
determines its own membership fees. |
