IPMBA is dedicated to developing positive
working relationships with industry professionals who support and serve the
public safety cycling community.
IPMBA is committed to advancing the development of products and technologies
that assist the public safety cyclist, and to educate its members on products
that have a positive impact on their daily duties.
The Industry Relations Committee, created in 2001, is charged with assisting
IPMBA in reaching these goals. The committee is comprised of IPMBA members
representing a variety of agency type: police departments, both large and
small; EMS providers, campus police departments, and private security. The
committee members are, among other duties, responsible for conducting product
reviews and field tests in their quest to discover and help in the development
of the very best products available.

Product Purchase Program
The IPMBA Product Purchase Program, or PPP,
is one of the coolest benefits of IPMBA membership. Why is it the coolest?
Because it saves you money!
The Product Purchase Program – IPMBA’s exclusive member discount
program – was introduced as a benefit of membership in September of
1997 with four members. Today, the PPP features over 30 suppliers offering
discounts to IPMBA members. Members who take advantage of these discounts
can pay for their IPMBA memberships in just one purchase. The list of discounts
goes on and on...bike seats, suspension, patrol shoes, bikes, training, lubes,
gloves, lights, uniforms...
So when you need bikes, equipment, clothing, or accessories for on- or off-duty
use, check the Product Purchase Program first, and watch your IPMBA membership
pay for itself. Have your IPMBA membership number and expiration date when
you place your order.
