Foundation document of the IPA Switzerland
During the international congress in Paris, held on the 16th and 17th of September 1955, our section was admitted together with the Germany section to the nowadays largest association of police officers.

September 1995 (from left to right: Loegan, Clerc, Goebler, Baumgartner)
At this memorable day in Paris the section Switzerland was represented by our friends René Goebler, André Clerc, André Baumgartner and Marcel Loegan.
According to the international statutes the IPA section Switzerland is independent regarding the organisation and the administration, as well as the 14 regions, unless they are not inconsistent with the international statutes.
Subsequently the following regions were founded: Vaud, Neuchâtel-Jura-Jura bernois, Valais, Bern, Biel and environment, Zurich, Central Switzerland, Ticino, East Switzerland, Solothurn, the two Basel and Aargau.
Nowadays the section of Switzerland counts over 12’000 members.
Founder
The founder of the IPA section Switzerland was René Goebler of the Sûreté Geneva. During a trip to Paris in 1953, he was meeting IPA friends from France and England. They persuaded him that the Swiss police officers should not longer stay in the offside. For that time West-Germany, Belgium and the Scandinavian countries were already members of IPA. René Goebler founded with his particular dynamic the IPA region Geneva and he got the whole thing going until the official foundation of IPA section Switzerland.
