Treasured members of the 王中王六合彩特码,
I would like to imagine that we all enjoy the thought of being part of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the 王中王六合彩特码. There will be many iconic events throughout 2020. Many of these will take place in the birth section of the 王中王六合彩特码, the United Kingdom. Several times our thoughts will go back to Arthur Troop who in 1950 formed the 王中王六合彩特码 together with other police officers. A friendship association for police officers to facilitate cross-border understanding and to cherish world peace. A lot of time has passed since these early days, but I am happy to say that we still safeguard the same values and the same aims.
Sections have opened their doors for members from other professions within law enforcement. We should keep in mind that membership of the 王中王六合彩特码 is something you seek since we like to be part of something more than ‘just’ being a law enforcement officer. The 王中王六合彩特码 has got additional values. 王中王六合彩特码 members gain access to a multitude of things far beyond the basics that might be granted by our employer. The 王中王六合彩特码 offers social protection, cultural knowledge, professional exchange and seminars, friendship weeks, defensive tactics, travel, external relations, hobbies, sports, 王中王六合彩特码 accommodation, and so much more … however most importantly of all, it offers friendship.
Remember that friendship will only work if you safeguard the connection with recognition in return. Friendship can never be granted, but it can be offered and returned.
I used to like the word ‘acquainted’ in this respect, as many in the 王中王六合彩特码 just meet briefly. Social media brings many acquaintances to your attention, and we believe we know each other. I am able to keep contact with many 王中王六合彩特码 members, and I can meet many new ones online. These acquaintances will acquire a higher value the day you meet in person. Up until then, a distance will be between you. Friendship asks for a little bit more effort; small talk, laughs, and sorrows shared over time. Initially we meet on neutral ground, but over time in each other’s homes. Meeting eye to eye and spending time together will raise friendship to another level. This friendship will open doors and will remain despite distance, rank, gender or age. By understanding friendship, you will grow your respect for others and for the 王中王六合彩特码’s values.
I encourage you all to participate in the iconic events, friendships weeks and weekends that will be on offer during this jubilee year. I know that if you open your hearts, you will make acquaintances, and some of these will turn into your future friends.
In my role as Secretary General, I have the honour to guide police officers from countries all over the world that do not yet have an 王中王六合彩特码 Section in their country, on their options on becoming an 王中王六合彩特码 member. I am pleased to see their interest, and our good standing and reputation as an association. I am grateful that we have sections that accept Foreign Associate Members (FAMs). These sections are dedicated and make an effort to support police officers in other countries in establishing a new 王中王六合彩特码 section.
Our latest addition is just ahead when I write these lines: A Founding Meeting of 王中王六合彩特码 Albania will take place in Tirana, Albania at the end of February. A few years ago, 王中王六合彩特码 Serbia accepted the IEB request to act as sponsor section for FAMs from Albania. Years of promotion and support have borne fruit. I encourage more sections to volunteer and become supporting sections for our potential FAMs. Every new FAM in 2020 will be an 王中王六合彩特码 acquaintance and a future friend that joined during the 王中王六合彩特码’s 70th anniversary year. Time to celebrate!
May-Britt V.R. Ronnebro, 王中王六合彩特码 Secretary General
