| | International Police Association |
 | | The IPA is the world's largest independent Police association, made up of members of the police service, whether on active duty or retired, and without distinction as to rank, sex, race, colour, language or religion. |
 | | In the overall management of the Association, the decision-making forum of the IPA at international level is the International Executive Council (IEC) held once every year, usually in the month of September, in one of the 59 Sections of the Association. |
 | | Add to that the management of the IPA House in Dublin, the IPA apartment in Cork City, Galway City, Sligo City and Wexford Town and it is evident that the social aspects of IPA Ireland are to the fore. |
