The Retired Police Assocn of Victoria Inc. was established in 1928.

You have spent a great deal of your lifetime in service to the community as a valued member of Victoria Police, and you may want to continue the friendships and contacts you made during your service. If so, the Retired Police Association of Victoria Inc is the way to do it. The RPA offers you the opportunity to keep in touch, and the chance of meeting those with whom you served.

We produce a quarterly newsletter (Retired Police Gazette), a copy of which will be provided to all RPA members. It endeavours to keep members informed of the activities and movements of those old friends you may wish to know about; and it's surprising how often we facilitate re-unions, often as long as 30 or 40 years after members last saw each other.

Membership is open to any former member of the Police Force of Victoria or other recognised Police Force who has retired or resigned and who is of good fame and character, those who have left with a "clear and honourable discharge" whether you have retired through age, medical discharge or resignation, you are eligible and most welcome to join. Former members of other recognised Police Forces are also eligible under certain conditions.

RPA VIC currently have approximately 1500 members.

To become a member please go to Membership Page, print the form, complete it and send it to The Secretary.

We look forward to welcoming you!
