Founded on the 1st January 1950, the International Police Association (IPA) is today the undisputed major police organization in the world, both in numerical strength and influence. In the 56 intervening years its Esperanto motto servo per Amikeco (service through friendship) has reached more people than one could ever have imagined. The IPA was the brainchild of Arthur Troop DEM, a police sergant from Lincolnshire, England, who wanted to create a channel for friendship and international cooperation amongst police officers.
