Members of Andalucia’s International Police Association (IPA) met their Gibraltar counterparts for the first time at the Rock’s IPA Headquarters last Saturday.

The event saw eight directors of various IPA branches including Cadiz, Marbella, Huelva, Cordoba and Sevilla enjoy a guided tour of Gibraltar – including a visit to the Great Siege Tunnels and Europa Point.

Police Constable Ben Bentley, who is the IPA Gibraltar Section President, said: “They had a fantastic time. It’s all about strengthening bonds and friendships amongst police forces.”

During a meeting at the IPA Gibraltar HQ chaired by Ben and the President of IPA Andalucía Pablo Barbecho, they agreed to strengthen relationships and communications between the two associations.
