Investigative and Security Professional Association of Georgia

Investigative Professional Association of Georgia, Inc. had its beginning in 1998 and was formed to provide for a local association closer to Middle Georgia/Southern Georgia, and to afford members of our profession and related occupations to a closer venue, Macon; to attend meetings, obtain continuing educational seminars, to understand and support/or oppose legislation affecting our livelihoods.  However, with the growth of the Association, its membership was expanded to include all of Georgia.  It was established to further improve our knowledge of new techniques within our fields, new legislation, rules, and regulations.  The meetings would provide an avenue to network with peers in this sprawling state and its 159 counties.
