We are a diverse and friendly society with members coming from all walks of life and as would be expected with the Irish/Celtic culture we always welcome new friends no matter where in the world you hail from. We encourage officers from other constabularies within the UK who would like to speak to us about starting branches within their own force to contact us. Additionaly we have made many friends from USA and other European forces and always like to hear from you if you are coming to London.
