IPA - Trinidad & Tobago Foreign Associate Region No 101
About the International Police Association (IPA)
The International Police Association (IPA) is a non-profit worldwide fraternal organization dedicated to unite in service and friendship, all active and retired law enforcement professionals from around the world. It is the world’s largest independent police organization run by its members for its members, existing primarily to create bonds of friendship and to promote international cooperation.
Consequently, the IPA can be of tremendous benefit to members and their families who wish to travel abroad. The organization is not connected with or influenced by any union, police or governmental agency or any outside interests.The IPA was formed in January 1, 1950, because a police sergeant from Lincolnshire, England, Arthur Troop, wanted to create a channel for friendship and international co-operation among police officers. His notion of an Association with development of social, cultural and professional links among its members, in an environment free from discrimination of rank, sex, race, color, language or religion, became a reality, to promote friendship among Police Officers (Nationally and Internationally) on a proper organized basis.
