As of June 1, 2011, Region 43 has 324 members paid up through 2011 and an additional 104 pending 2011 dues for a total membership of 428. Approximately 2/3's of our members are actively serving with some 47 different Local, County, State or Federal Police
Our region maintains close ties with local law enforcement (over 75% of our members are active officers) and we are happy to arrange police related activities for visitors. In the last several years we have arranged complete programs for German IPA police classes who traveled here to study American law enforcement techniques.
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. .
Many of us in the IPA have attained lifelong friendships with IPA people abroad. It's well worth a little effort. In order to attain this and stick to the IPA credo of Servo per Amikeco or Service Through Friendship, it's important to take the proper steps when you plan on traveling to foreign countries and wish the assistance from those IPA Sections .
Friendship Through Service
