footnotes= The International Union of Police Associations (also known as "IUPA" or "I.U.P.A.") is a North American trade union chartered for law enforcement, corrections and related support personnel. IUPA is a participant in the AFL-CIO federation of trade unions. IUPA was originally chartered as the "National Conference of Police Associations" (N.C.P.A.) in 1954. In 1966 the organization's charter changed to include Canadian police associations, leading to a change of name to the "International Conference of Police Associations" (I.C.P.A.). A split among member organizations over whether or not to join the AFL-CIO was led by Edward J Kiernan, the ICPA President to leave the ICPA and form the IUPA, which joined the AFL-CIO in 1979. Kiernan, then served as the first IUPA President. The focus of IUPA expanded during the 1990s to include corrections personnel and organizations from Puerto Rico.
IUPA is governed by a President, Vice-president and Board, the Board representing sixteen geographical regions that the organization covers. Fourteen of these regions are contained in the United States; one region includes Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the Caribbean; and one region includes Canada and the states of New York, New Jersey and Alaska. As of 2004, the President and Vice-president are Sam A. Cabral and Dennis Slocumb. IUPA currently has more than 100,000 members in 372 local chapters across 32 US states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.ref|locals Locals
