IPA PC Request: Law Enforcement Survey
- Détails
To All IPA Sections,
This seems to be my last request from the IPA Sections in my capacity as Chairperson of the Professional Commission.
The PhD student and fellow Police officer Mr. Richard Ramm at University of Nevada, Reno, would like to get as many Law Enforcement Officers as possible to answer his survey on Human Trafficking. He has kindly translated the questionnaire into our four IPA languages to make it easier for us to circulate to all sections.
I highly recommend you to encourage your members to answer the survey and support Richard in his studies.
The successor of the Chair of the Professional Commission will receive the final research document to share with us when completed.
In friendship
May-Britt Rinaldo Ronnebro
Chairperson of the Professional Commission

Hello, my name is Richard Ramm, and along with being a Sergeant at the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office, I am also a PhD student at the University of Nevada, Reno. I am currently studying law enforcements effects on the trafficking in persons. I am inviting you to take a quick survey that will help us assess several factors that officers encounter during human trafficking investigations, including if community trust affects human trafficking investigations; and if human trafficking can be misclassified as another crime. All of which will help answer the question of what law enforcement considers a successful human trafficking investigation.
If you volunteer for this study, you are acknowledging that you are a law enforcement officer capable of investigating crimes and making arrests. You will be asked to fill out a 26 question survey which should take approximately 20 minutes. The questions will include the country you work in as well as questions regarding decision making in your agency, how your agency divides its jurisdiction and whether your agency works with others to combat trafficking.
This study is considered minimal risk. We will not record any personal identifying information during this research. Questions about human trafficking and an individual’s experiences can cause reactions in some. Rest assured that the answers to all questions will be anonymous, and only the researchers, as well as the University of Nevada, Reno Social Behavioral Institutional Review Board will have any opportunity to access responses. You can withdraw from the survey at any time. But, due to the lack of personal identifying information, once the survey is completed, it may prove impossible to find your answers to remove them from the data.
We cannot promise that participating in the study will benefit you. We hope that your participation will assist us in gaining a better perspective of what constitutes a successful human trafficking investigation.
At any time, if you have any questions or wish to report any issues with your participation in this study, you can contact Dr. Nicholas Seltzer (Cette adresse e-mail est protégée contre les robots spammeurs.

If you wish to discuss a problem or lodge a complaint, you can contact the University of Nevada, Reno Research Integrity Office at 775.327.2368 or use the online option at through the “Contact Us” page of the University’s Research Integrity Office website. Thank you in advance for your participation.

I am currently working closely with the Galway 2020 Capital of Culture committee to collaborate a major IPA event in Galway in conjunction with the Aran Event. This will be happening in July 2020 and will involve 3 days on the Aran Islands and a number of other events in the amazing Galway city. A full programme of IPA events will be published soon, but interested IPA members are asked to contact me so that I can keep them directly informed.

Tribute to the killed policeman
- Détails
Hello my friends
Some and Some know it, I am the IPA departmental president of the city of Toulouse in addition to being national travel secretary.
I allow myself to ask you to ask for information.
I work in the municipal police of Toulouse and I am in the neighborhoods of our city. We work jointly with a police station of the national police. This weekend, a friend of us policeman was killed. This drama has hurt us a lot.
The situation was as follows: our colleague was in a queue to buy food at the exit of a disco. Apparently two individuals recognized him as policemen and hit him on the neck with an iron bar. Then once on the ground, the two criminals kicked to the death.
Our colleague and friends would become dad in 4 months. He wished to adhere to our association. As a policeman and friend I allow myself to solicit you to make a gift to his wife.
We would borrow a photographic book with pictures of uniformed policemen all around the world accompanied by a word of courage for his wife.
If you have the opportunity to ask colleagues to make a photo I thank you in advance.
In order to be more precise in my approach, I give you the following details:
1 / the name of the policeman killed is Benjamin
2 / The name of his wife is Sarah
Some of you ask me what exactly I am looking for, in fact I would like a picture of a group of policeman in uniform with a small personalized message for his wife.
I would like to do the book tribute before the end of August.
Thanks to you my friends
Thank you also to my Canadian, Portuguese, Russian friends who have already started the requests.
I tell you that the photos of colleagues will have absently not broadcast on the net.
Your friend

Dear IPA friends,
We are happy and excited to announce that our new website www.ipa-international.org is now up and running!
It is of course still early days, and there are a few aspects that need further attention, but we thought the time was right to let you discover the new website yourselves.
In the near future, we will work on getting the National Publications and Interest Group pages functioning and populated, and have many plans, including a picture gallery, as well as extended History and World Congress pages, to name only a few.
Plus there is scope for the Commissions pages to expand significantly.
Our website benefits tremendously from your contributions, so please keep sending us any of your events you wish advertised internationally – we are happy to upload these for you.
We hope you like the new international website and look forward to your feedback!
Kind regards from
Stephen, Elke, Kerry and Daniel
