Welcome to the PPA
"A national organisation supporting Pagan police officers and staff. Working together, we aim to improve the relationship between the Pagan community and the police."
We expect an endorsement of our application to the Home Office and the Police Pagan Association should be fully functional before Yule.
Our strength is in our membership; the more members we have the easier it will be to achieve our aims. By pledging to join now, membership dues (£12 per annum) are waived until April 2010, and in the interim, you will be entitled to the full benefits of membership.
About the PPA
The purpose of the PPA is to support serving and retired police officers and staff who follow a Pagan faith., whilst raising awareness of pagan issues within their services.

As with all aspects of Pagansim the PPA is not exclusively for Pagans and will endeavour to work with other agencies and associations in the interest of the community. All activities undertaken by the PPA support and reinforce the vision and values of the police service, whilst upholding the Home Office standards for equality and diversity.

- (a)To raise awareness and understanding of Paganism in all forms.
