NYPD Takes on North Wales Denis Hunt , Secretary No 4 Region

It appears that race relations is a big issue in New York and a succession of Mayors and differing Presidential attitudes often affects policing on the street. In particular, the confidence in the police in a given community seems to be related to the political leaning of those who govern. Mike and his colleagues were most hospitable, insisting that David and I stay and have a meal with them. Gifts and contact details were exchanged and before I knew it darkness had fallen and it was beginning to snow. Time for me to make my way home. It was a lovely evening spent in the company of colleagues from the USA who I now refer to as friends… And isn’t that what the IPA is about?

Following receipt of an IPA Travel Form from Mike Fales, a serving NYPD officer, Gary Fernandes of North Wales Branch got in touch with him to arrange a meeting at Ruthin. Mike and his travelling companions were visiting North Wales during a tour of the UK. Gary takes up the story… David Moore and I met up with Mike Fales, a serving detective in the NYPD at Ruthin Castle in March 2018. Ruthin was an overnight stay for Mike who was on his way from Scotland to Stratford upon Avon. Mike travelled with about ten NYPD colleagues and their wives/partners. The group mainly comprised retired officers so it was interesting to hear the experiences of former officers compared to those presently serving.

Our thoughts are with IPA France Dear friends On 23rd March a hero died as a result of the serious injuries inflicted by the terrorist during the hostage-taking at Super U Trèbes. Colonel Arnaud Beltrame, had changed places with a lady held hostage, his courage, his self- sacrifice, his spirit of sacrifice, demand respect. That night he left to a world that we hope is better, leaving his family, his colleagues, his friends devastated by this tragedy. ALL the members of IPA France, and of the IPA world, mourn his passing and offer their condolences to his family, and to the National Gendarmerie, in this immense sorrow we are at their side. Colonel, you will remain for us all a symbol of courage and sacrifice for our country. Respects… LE SECRETARIAT NATIONAL - IPA FRANCE
