International Police Association
The International Police Association (IPA) is a non-profit
worldwide organization whose membership consists solely of active and
retired law enforcement personnel. Our organization is not connected
with or influenced by any union, police or governmental agency or any
outside interests. The IPA promotes global and cultural friendship among
peace officers, with an emphasis on friendship. It creates opportunities
for members and their families who wish to travel in the U.S. or the
world, as well as opportunities closer to home to meet and socialize
with visiting officers from around the world. It offers national and
international organized activities and educational opportunities to
members and their families. IPA membership includes over 400,000 officers
in 61 nations. The U.S. Section has approximately 10,000 members. Region
4 includes Chicago, Northern Illinois, Iowa, and Nebraska.
Join a Region 4 Meeting!
Region 4 holds its monthly meetings at great restaurants around the
Chicago metropolitan area. These are affordable restaurants with cultural
or architectural appeal, an IPA member country affiliation, or just
their own uniqueness. Region 4 invites prospective members and friends
to join any of our meetings. Our meetings are family friendly events
where one can engage in the lively art of conversation.
