President Mick Luke and members of staff at
the IPA International and Section UK’s HQ in
West Bridgford. A football themed cake was
presented to them as their visit coincided with
Germany winning the world cup. They were also
invited to launch Section UK’s National lottery,
jointly pushing the button that generated the first
winning number.
ILDEP has been developed to professionalise
the exchange process, ensuring members get
the best possible learning experience they can.
A National Co-ordinator facilitates placements
and exchanges with police organisations in all
IPA Sections (countries), leading to professional
development at individual and organisational
level. For more information on the ILDEP
programme contact Iain Sirrell:
