The Italian American Police Association of Illinois



Our meeting is Tuesday, February 9, 2010, 7:00PM at Alta Villa.

  Our History

The Italian American Police Association began in 1963, when a group of 13 police officers saw a need for a fraternal organization, which embraced all law enforcement officers of Italian heritage in the State of Illinois. With this as its purpose, a charter was secured, by-laws adopted and today an association of over 500 members, who are employed as law enforcement officers. All are of Italian origin and have dedicated themselves to fulfilling the creed.
