IPA Vancouver Island (Region 13)
Why Join?
The International Police Association (IPA) is one of the most unique and interesting social organizations in the world. This fraternal body is dedicated to unite, in service and friendship, all active and retired sworn members of the law enforcement service worldwide.
The IPA strives to enhance the image of the police in its member countries, and to facilitate international co-operation through friendly contacts between police officers of all continents. It is not the purpose of the association to be involved in any way with departmental policy, discipline or unionism; it is solely dedicated to cultural, social and recreational pursuits.
Membership now exceeds 350,000 officers in over 62 countries and is steadily increasing. Membership is open to any serving or former police officer meeting the requirements as set out in the Canadian Section Constitution and is offered regardless of rank, race, sex, colour or creed.
The Canadian Section was formed in London, Ontario in 1960 by Rev. Charles Wright and recognized by the IPA international body in 1961. IPA Canada has 13 branches or regions spread throughout the country. Region 13 (Vancouver Island) is on the West Coast of Canada.
The IPA creates an opportunity for cultural exchange and contacts on a local, national and international level. The IPA is a tremendous organization for members and their families who wish to travel to IPA member countries. The IPA offers something a travel agency cannot, as nobody knows the city or town like the police officer who lives and works there.
Members are often extended courtesies, offered assistance and given tours that would not be normally available. If you are a traveller seeking fun and excitement in far off places, you will be pleased to know there will be a police officer there to advise and guide you.
The International Police Association owns or controls many villas and homes throughout the world where accommodations are made financially reasonable to members. Member travellers find police officers universally have a lot in common, and love to share their stories and experiences with fellow officers. Travel contacts globally are an important part of the IPA, but are only one type of service that is offered.
The IPA offers youth exchange programs. Our families are an integral part of our association. You have the satisfaction of knowing that another police officer and their family are looking after your children while they are experiencing culture and language of another land.
International Friendship Week vacations are tours and experiences planned and chaperoned by a member country to show case their domain. Hungary, Israel, Sweden, Japan and Australia have planned Friendship Weeks in 2012.
Hobbyists such as stamp and insignia collectors get connections worldwide and there are Ham Radio operators, pen pals and e-mail contacts for the asking. Local regions also have social functions, dinner meetings, guest speakers, picnic trips and guest hosting, there are endless possibilities at the local level.
