The
Hellenic American Police Association (HAPA) was founded in 1993, in the
City of Chicago. The HAPA is
a not-for-profit, police ethnic association, representing law enforcement
officers of Hellenic heritage. Our
Active Members represent various law enforcement agencies from throughout
the State of Illinois, as well as from other States.
The majority of our Active Members are Chicago Police Officers. The HAPA is one of two such associations.
The other being the St. Paul’s Society of the New York Police
Department, with whom we maintain brotherly ties.
One of the purposes of the HAPA is to unite law enforcement
officers of Hellenic heritage. We
are very proud of our law enforcement career and of our Hellenic heritage. |
