Members of the 3 Region (Northern England) can boast press coverage for their
planned fund raising trip along US Route 50.
There has been good progress on the project over the last few months: the car has been
overhauled and painted, a website and facebook page has been set up, merchandise is
now available for sale and it's possible to donate on-line. ‘Stan the Panda’ has also
made its first journey - as it made an appearance at the National Council Meeting.
The organisers of the ‘IPA Route 50 Challenge’ have also launched a website:
The fundraising trip is to raise money for Section UK's chosen charity - the National
Police Memorial Day. Visit:

York Celebrates
On 28 April, York Branch, held a celebratory lunch at
The Lady Anne Middletons Hotel in York.
It was attended
by members of the branch and members from London,
Oldham, Bolton, Blackpool, Durham, Scarborough and
Humberside - along with partners and family members.
Vice President Ronnie Dukes also joined us. York branch
has two members who have both completed over 50 years
of IPA membership: Colin Shingles and Judith Carlton.
Colin was presented with a Presidential Award by Ronnie
Dukes on behalf of President, Tom Crozier, as Colin was
not able to attend the National Council Meeting. The
award was in recognition of Colin’s commitment and
principles of friendship within the IPA that he has shown
during his membership. Flowers were also given to Colin’s
wife Audrey.
Judith Carlton was presented with a bouquet of flowers by
Keith Meadley the Chair of York branch.

Who is the
Longest Serving
Female Police
Officer
in the UK?
Carolyn Williamson, IPA member and Secretary of British
Association for Women in Policing (BAWP) has contacted
the Section UK Administration Centre (BSAC) to ask if
anyone knows who is the longest serving female police
officer in the UK.
Carolyn said,
“At the Civil Nuclear Constabulary, there is a
female Inspector who has been in service for 44 years. We
believe she may be the longest serving female police
officer in the country. We also have a female Authorised
Firearms Officer (AFO) who we believe may be the longest
serving female AFO in the country with 30+ years in the
role.”
Do you know if Carolyn is right or are there other women
who have been in their roles longer? If you know please
contact Carolyn directly at:
