My name is Corina WILLEY and I’ve been a frontline Constable for about 3 and a half years and am now based currently based at North Shore Policing Centre, Auckland, New Zealand. I’m writing purely to encourage all Police employees to become members of the International Police Association (“IPA”).
I joined the IPA at the start of the year after speaking with Senior Sergeant William ‘Billy’ LAWRENCE about my upcoming travels around Europe. He is the current Vice President and regional Secretary here in Region 1.
I didn't know much about what IPA was and he has an office full of posters and badges and has been overseas so when we got chatting it was clear quickly that i could get help from other police officers overseas.
It turned out being a member of IPA also comes with awesome perks/ opportunities such as:
- Cheap holiday homes all over the world!
- Chance to arrange ride-alongs internationally
- Meet ups with fellow officers from all walks of Police life worldwide
- Plan airport pick-ups and free tour guides (from willing IPA members)
