Welcome to
The International Police Association’s
South African Section

A Non-Profit and Non-Governmental body made up of serving and retired officers from different police services worldwide.

Welcome to the South African Section of the International Police Association or better known as IPA.

Our motto, “Servo per Amikeco” translates to “Service Through Friendship”.

Service because without commitment, there is no friendship and without friendship, there would be no IPA.

We are a non-governmental organisation, and our aims are to create and strengthen bonds of friendship between members of the police service, promote international cooperation in social, cultural and professional fields, encourage peaceful co-existence between peoples and preservation of world peace, improve the public image of the police service and enhance recognition of the IPA by international bodies.

Oldest & Largest

For more than 60 years, the IPA has welcomed more than 420,000 members from over 100 countries, that is why the IPA is now known as the oldest and largest police association in the world.

Discover

Whether it be social, cultural or professional, our gatherings are like discoveries that give sense to our values and our ideals of friendship, tolerance, and peace.

The IPA is committed to the principles as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as adopted by the United Nations in 1948, and is in Consultative (Special) Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations, and also is in Consultative Status with the Organization of American States and UNESCO.

Enjoy

By joining the IPA you will not only enjoy great benefits but you will also support our endeavours towards creating universal friendship through respect for human rights.

Your IPA

The IPA is yours to discover, develop and of course, to enjoy.
