As you see, IPA offers a lot to its members. What we want from our members is to assist their colleagues when in need of any kind of assistance. In addition, we ask our members to assist the police to enhance their image and try to get closer to the public. This is our top priority because by getting the police closer to the public, the public will recognise and understand the mission of the police and will help to combat crime, drug trafficking and traffic problems.
