The IPA is the largest and oldest worldwide fraternal police organization! Membership is open to ALL active and retired Law Enforcement Officers.
World Travel the IPA Way!
Membership will enhance your travels One of the many advantages of the IPA is the availability of expert assistance in foreign countries, often at a greatly reduced cost or sometimes, at no cost at all. Along with the foreign travel comes the opportunity to meet police officers in other countries, through which we can attain ideas which may enhance our own capabilities as law enforcement officers at home. We must all try to widen our horizons. Likewise, officers from foreign countries are enthusiastic in learning how we do things.
