The Hanover Schützenfest at Hanover in Germany is the largest marksmen’s funfair in the world. 
The 2010, 10th Annual Mayberry Day Parade in Graysville, AL.
According to ‘Morning Express’ anchor Natasha Curry, “The trooper was out with his family when he noticed a man running behind a group of teenagers.” When the trooper stopped his car to check it out, he realized that the man had just been robbed. “So what did he do?” asks Curry, “He chased the teens down and made them hand over the goods.”
The victim had reportedly been collecting money for his church when the teens grabbed his bucket and ran. “We are supposed to respond at all times,” Benton explains, “You are always a State Trooper.” According to Curry, the only reason that he let the teens go is “because he had his family in the car.” Hopefully they learned their lesson.

One of the many advantages of the IPA is the availability of expert assistance in foreign countries, often at a greatly reduced cost or sometimes, at no cost at all. Along with the foreign travel comes the opportunity to meet police officers in other countries, through which we can attain ideas which may enhance our own capabilities as law enforcement officers at home. We must all try to widen our horizons. Likewise, officers from foreign countries are enthusiastic in learning how we do things.

Many of us in the IPA have attained lifelong friendships with IPA people abroad. It’s well worth a little effort. In order to attain this and stick to the IPA credo of Servo per Amikeco or Service Through Friendship, it’s important to take the proper steps when you plan on traveling to foreign countries and wish the assistance from those IPA Sections.
