Mocean president Bill Levitt stated, “Mocean began offering grants for the IPMBA conference several years ago in order to assist public safety cyclists in gaining access to the high-quality training available only at the IPMBA Conference. We are proud to support the efforts of the grant winners to improve their own skills and use them for the betterment of their communities. It is always difficult to select just a few recipients from the submitted entries, and this year was no different. We thank everyone who submitted an essay and wish sincere congratulations to the winners, whom I look forward to meeting in Indianapolis.”

IPMBA would like to thank Mocean for their generosity and their continued support of IPMBA and our members. For more information about Mocean uniforms, please visit www.mocean.net or email Bill Levitt at moceanbl (at) aol.com.
