Centenary of the Police Savings Association

The Police Savings Association, which was formed 100 years ago to provide economic relief to the police officers, was established with the objective of improving the financial stability of police officers by saving money until their retirement. In the year 1924, the Superintendent of Police at the time, Mr. J. D. Aitkin, has formed the Police Savings Association to ensure legality in terms of financial matters.

Inspector General of Police – Mr. Priyantha Weerasooriya and a number of senior officials with the blessings of all religious leaders.
