The International police association was
formed in 1950 to promote friendship amongst police officers
nationally and internationally on a properly organised basis.
|
|
Its prupose is to create bonds of friendship
and to promote international co-operation.
|
|
Servo per Amikeco, an Esperanto term which
means "service through friendship" is the adopted motto of the
association. |
| Aims and objectives
|
|
To link together in a sense of service
and friendship, all serving and retired members of the police
services of member countries; |
|
To encourage and stimulate a study of public
services and the maintenance of law and order between members of
the police service in all member countries, through social,
cultural and related activities; |
|
To arrange economical exchange holiday
schemes, pen friendships and study-group visits; |
|
To establish a correspondence department to
supply members with study outlines in approved subjects.
|
| There is no discrimination
of race, creed, sex or colour, and the association is entirely
non-political |
|
The association is controlled in each
member country by a National Executive Council, which in turn
is answerable to an International Executive Council on which
properly elected delegates representing such countries shall
serve. |
|
It is normal for countries to be divided
into regions for administrative purposes. Permanent sub-committees
administer the principal activities arising out of the aims and
objectives of the association. Associate secretaries are
appointed to work in liaison between the Secretary-General and
countries where the branches of the association exist or may be
formed. |
