Procession of the Hellenic- American Police Association in the Greek independance day parade.

The Hellenic American Police Association (HAPA) is a not-for-profit, police ethnic association founded and dedicated to representing law enforcement officers of Hellenic heritage. The HAPA was founded in 1993, in the City of Chicago by Elias Voulgaris of the Chicago Police Department, who saw a need for a fraternal organization, which embraced law enforcement officers of Hellenic heritage. With this as its purpose, a charter was secured, a constitution and by-laws were adopted, and today an association of over 150 members exists.
The HAPA is chartered by the State of Illinois and recognized by the Chicago Police Department.
