IPA Section Israel
- Best Practice
At the recent IEC meeting Section Israel informed
delegates of a new initiative in the Section which
has encouraged more members to travel with IPA.
Here is their report:
Travelling as part of a delegation is now open to
all IPA Israel members and in this way, instead of
100 members per year, over 1300 friends had the
chance to venture abroad. Each IPA member was
subsidised and received a gift card, allowing travel
with a friend at a very low cost.
Sections Malta and Romania were chosen as
destinations in 2013. In each country, meetings with
the local IPA sections and police were arranged, plus
a reception with the President. More than 300 IPA
Israel members were able to visit Romania with the
help of this new programme.
In Malta, each delegation was welcomed by either
the President or the Secretary General of the
Section, and the visits included a reception at the
police headquarters in Valletta. Almost 500 IPA
Israel members visited Malta this year.
Preliminary visits of NEC members from IPA Israel
ensured the coordination of the receptions and
accommodation for delegates.
IPA Israel is also promoting a plan to build eight
suites in a Tel Aviv policeman’s house, which will
enable individuals and groups accommodation at
the standard of a luxury hotel in the heart of Tel
Aviv. The project will be completed during the year
and will upgrade the ability of Section Israel to host
individuals as well as groups.
Founding Meeting
International Secretary General, Georgios
Katsaropoulos, and International President,
Pierre-Martin Moulin represented the Permanent
Executive Bureau (PEB) at the Founding Meeting
of IPA Section Montenegro.
The meeting was
attended by members of the sponsor Section
Serbia as well as IPA Croatia, IPA Slovenia, Section
in Foundation FYR Macedonia, representatives
from the Albanian police forces, the Minister of the
Interior and the Chief of Police of Montenegro.
