WELCOME MESSAGE FROM ASIA PACIFIC WRO CHAIR

Dear Members,

As Chair of the Asia-Pacific World Regional Office (WRO) of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), I extend to you a warm welcome to the Asia Pacific WRO homepage.

The Asia-Pacific WRO, with headquarters in New Delhi, was formed in 1994. Over 250 members from 22 countries represent the Region.  The main objectives of the region are to (i) promote programs, services and activities of IACP in the region, (ii) recruit members for the Association, (iii) plan, promote, organize international executive policing conferences, and (iv) encourage attendance at the Annual and International Conferences.

Over the years, the WRO has diligently served as IACP’s voice in the Region actively spreading its message.  The WRO has organized a series of conferences & seminars in the past that have addressed issues such as terrorism, multi-national policing efforts, application of community-oriented policing and technological advances in both counter terrorism and crime investigation.  These events have not only provided the international policing community a forum for networking, sharing experiences in countering terrorism but also strengthened mutual trust and understanding among members.  

IACP has emerged as an effective forum that can be utilized by the Police community in the Region to develop and maintain strategic partnerships, enhance overall Police leadership, professionalism and knowledge levels for senior Police executives.  As a measure to strengthen and broaden IACP’s presence in the region, I request the Police leadership in member countries to encourage Police officials in their countries to join IACP.
