Thanks to our Hosts!
Many thanks to Chief Julian Davis, the Dayton Police Department,
and their partner agencies for hosting the 16th
Annual IPMBA Conference. Hosting a conference
is not easy. It takes tremendous amounts of time, dedication, commitment,
and resources, both financial and human. If invested properly, these resources
can result in a positive outcome for all involved.
The outcome of the 16th Annual IPMBA Conference certainly was positive.
Participants from 34 states and six countries have returned to their homes,
eager to share their Dayton experience. They will no doubt recount stories
about the training, the riding, the area history, and the fine Midwestern
hospitality.

their commitment to the conference in countless ways from start to finish:
Sgt. Allan Howard, Det. Jamie Bullens, P.O. Jeff Brown,
P.O. Shawn Huey, NAO coordinator Cynthia August, all from the

the sights, sounds, and flavors of Dayton. They were an essential ingredient
in the formula that makes the IPMBA conference the premier training event
for public safety cyclists.
