Between 27th and 29th of October, 2017, there was a solemn celebration of the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the IPA Polish Section.
Members of the National Executive Board, former IPA Polish Section presidents, commanders, representatives from 11 foreign IPA national sections met in the city of Lublin to celebrate this unique event.
The ceremony began with placing flowers and candles, by the IPA Polish Section Presidium and the representative of the Audit Commission, at a memorial plaque commemorating police officers of the Second Polish Republic (interwar period) murdered in Miednoje and other places during the Second World War.
Then the celebration was moved to the Lublin Provincial Police Headquarters.

The youth orchestra from Józefów on the Vistula provided a unique musical performance.
