The main purpose of the IPA is to promote friendship between the police officers of different countries. The main way we do this is by offering hospitality to overseas IPA members visiting Hong Kong. This takes many forms – assisting visitors with accommodation, inviting visitors for meals and drinks, accompanying them and assisting with sight-seeing and shopping, arranging visits to police stations or other police facilities, and so on. The other side of hospitality is making arrangements for our members who travel to other countries.

Every year, delegates from sections attend the World Congress held by hosting section to discuss the affairs of IPA. Besides, a scholarship in name of the Founder Arthur Troop will be awarded to selected sections on yearly basis to support members attending training at the training institution at Gimborn, Germany and other IPA supported training courses.

We rely on the membership fee to finance the operation of the section such as production of souvenirs for exchange and subsidy to members attending IPA local events. Subject to the financial situation and approval of the Executive Council, the section will also sponsor the expenses for members representing Hong Kong to attend conferences, seminars or other international events.

IPA Hong Kong will continue providing service to members to facilitate their visits and helping them to broaden their personal networking at International level. Besides, we will endeavor to take every opportunity to project positive image of Hong Kong Police to overseas members. Sharing session will also be arranged for different police units if foreign members visiting Hong Kong posses with expertise on specific profession and benefit to the Hong Kong Police.
