The first place for IPA Israel - - Attorney Superintendent Sharon Gal
Representing Israel to worldwide police
It's not every day that an Israeli is elected to the leadership of an international group with a presence in 69 countries. But not everyone is police superintendent Gal Sharon.
The 30-year Israel Police veteran was elected first international vice president of the International Police Association (IPA) -- a move unprecedented for an Israeli and a woman -- by secret ballot at the IPA's 20th World Congress held recently in Eilat.
IPA represents 430,000 police officers from around the world. According to its charter the independent, apolitical body strives to develop "cultural relations amongst its members, a broadening of their general knowledge, and an exchange of professional experience” in addition to peaceful co-existence between peoples.
The organization is overseen by an international president and three vice presidents. Sharon was also elected chairperson of its International Social Commission (ISC).
"The fact that I was chosen and that I am from Israel is a message in itself," she says, noting many of the votes in her favor came from nations that have no formal ties with Israel. "I'm from Israel but I don't just represent Israel. The world police chose me and I represent everyone."
