MESSAGE of The SECRETARY

Thumb
Message from the Hony. Secretary/Police Inspectors’ Association.
Dear Colleagues, It is a great honor for me that the Annual General Meeting of the Sri Lanka Police Inspectors Association has elected unanimously me as the Secretary of this prestige institution. This challenge makes me to take into account two different considerations: On the one hand, being able to be at the height of all the Inspectorate Officers’ expectations to create a participative and driving society of quality, peace and harmony; and on the other hand, being able to pursue the path marked predecessors who have made so much for our Institution, who as former Secretaries and Chairmen, have encouraged so much the development of the SLPIA and its members. This is an institution in which it is necessary to work in order to create a friendly environment to work with, and at the same time, to promote the development of a quality life of inspectors. But above all, we must make an effort to create bonds of friendship among all the members in our Association that are above political and economic opinions, which contaminate the island we live in. In order to create those connection bonds we have set some goals that I hope they reach each corner of the island, giving our society new wings to transform it in attractive, participative, useful, active, and full of energy to have the capacity to host all the group of members from north to south and from east to west of the Country, based in that cultural and linguistic diversity that can be found in our old continent and that enrich us. The target is that with these new wings, we could get a society without barriers, with a universal language of communication in which the words of gesture among us, and in which the friendship and respect will be the guide to the development. We need these new wings, and in order to get them I am going to work together with the rest of the members. I ask your support, collaboration and participation in our society and we will try you to feel proud of being part of it.

ABOUT US

History

History (in brief) of the formation of the Sri Lanka Police Inspectors’ Association

This prestigious Association was established in the year 1945, under the direction of Lieutenant Colonel R.R.M. Bacon during his tenure of office as the Inspector General of Police. Today the Association had completed 70 years and the total membership is 9000 approximately) which includes women cadre too.

The Executive Committee of this Association is elected at the General Assembly held annually in accordance with the SLPIA Constitution. The important factors that contributed for the formation of this Association, which led Lt.Col. Bacon to do so was, that the Officers (Gazetted Ranks) of the Police Force must treat this body in a helpful and sympathetic manner and must disburse their minds that such formation is an excuse for the undermining of discipline. The second is that the lowest ranks themselves must select their representatives with sound judgment and acumen. The barrack room lawyers agitate and the soap box orators are not the type who will succeed in obtaining sympathy hearing from their superiors.

But if a genuine effort is made to pick out the steady experienced reasonable minded officer which in turn will help the authorities to derive considerable benefit from the representations that they may put forward. In the words of Lt. Col. Bacon, it is invaluable for the senior officers to have a sounding box amongst the lower ranks on which they can place reliance rather than to have to scarps of information of doubtful which reliability may come to their ears by accident.

The first Chairman was the Inspector of Police, B.C Wijemanne who held the post of chairman with effect from 16.09.1945 to 16.11.1946. At that time, he functioned as the Registrar of Fingerprints, Fingerprint Bureau, Colombo.
