ABOUT US
Where we come from
In 1950, the IPA, the largest police organization in the world, was founded with the Esperanto motto “Servo per Amikeco” (Service for Friendship). It was created by a police sergeant from Lincolnshire, England, named Arthur Troop, who wanted to create a means of friendship and international cooperation between police officers. Troop worked tirelessly to promote the founding of other national chapters and the IPA became the largest police organization in the world. Troop received numerous awards and recognitions, including the British Empire Medal, the Cross of Honor of the President of the Republic of Austria, and the “Golden Sword of Hungary.” Troop passed away in 2000.
