IPES - Annual Meetings The International Police Executive Symposium’s major annual initiative is a four-day meeting on specific issues relevant to the policing profession. Past meeting themes have covered a broad range of topics from police education to corruption. Meetings are organized by the IPES in conjunction with sponsoring organizations in a host country. To date, meetings have been held throughout North America, Europe, Middle East and Asia. The immediate past meeting was hosted by The Cincinnati Police and Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. The upcoming 2009 meeting will be held in Ohrid, Macedonia and hosted by the Ministry of Interior for the Republic of Macedonia. Plans are afoot for the next meeting (2010) to be held in Malta.

The meeting facilitates interaction, and the exchange of ideas and opinions on all aspects of policing. The agenda is structured to encourage dialogue in both formal and informal settings. Meeting participants are requested to present a paper discussing the meeting’s theme from their country’s perspective. Compilations of selected papers from each meeting have been published or are in stages of publication preparation. IPES advocates, promotes and propagates that POLICING is one of the most basic and essential avenues for improving the quality of life in all nations, rich and poor; modern and traditional; large and small as well as peaceful and strife-ridden. IPES actively works to drive home to all its office bearers, supporters and admirers that, in order to reach its full potential as an instrument of service to humanity, POLICING must be fully and enthusiastically open to: (1) Collaboration between research and practice (2) Global exchanges among the police of all nations in the world (3) Universal dissemination and sharing of best practices (4) Generating thinking police leaders and followers, reflecting and writing on the issues challenging to the profession Through its Annual Meetings, Hosts, Institutional Supporters, and Publications, IPES reaffirms that POLICING is a moral profession with unflinching adherence to the rule of law and human rights as the embodiment of humane values.
