Specialized Units Police Insignia Collectors Association

SUPICA is the English acronym for "Specialized Units Police Insignia Collectors Association".

The idea was born in 2005 in the minds of Dominic Verstappen and Hans Moors, and is complemented by Jef Lauwers and David Rummens.
We want to publish 4 magazines a year for and by collectors about the world of specialized police units and their insignia.
Specialized units are all units that do more than basic police or have a specialized knowledge, such as special operations units, riot units, dog squads, bicycle teams, DVI etc ...

We certainly do not want to compete with existing national and international associations and organizations, nor would we invade their market.
We are supplementary and focus on a specific audience.
Inter alia we have good ties with APICA.
Our association will not only regroup collectors of police patches, but also focus at colleagues from police and justice departments around the world.

Important basic rules of our association are:

-members are employee of a department of police, justice, military or other equivalents or have been nominated or accepted by the board
-world-wide friendship and collegiality high priority bear
-collecting police patches is not big business, but is a hobby that makes friends
-all members can contribute to our magazine
-all members try to help each other with respect to the passion that binds us

All new members also receive the SUPICA patch.

The magazine was first published in February 2006.
Each magazine is published in Dutch and English.
The magazines are in exceptional good coulors and are sent by mail.
The membership fee is 17 euros per year.
It can be paid via bank transfer (IBAN & BIC codes) or via PayPal.
