About the Illinois Police Association

Over the years, the Illinois Police Association (IPA) has been instrumental in getting legislation passed that benefits Police Officers.

Some of these laws have dealt with wages, liability payments by the State of Illinois, pensions, indiscriminate use of the polygraph, promotions and the Police Officer’s Bill of Rights, just to list a few.

We also work to defeat legislation that is not favorable to police officers.
