We pledge our assistance, cooperation and support to make your convention successful and your stay in Baton Rouge pleasant and memorable. Sincerely, Carl Dabadie Chief of Police 4 © 2013 International Police Mountain Bike Association ~ 23rd Annual IPMBA Conference ~ www.ipmba.org Dear IPMBA Conference Attendee: Welcome to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the 23rd Annual Conference of the International Police Mountain Bike Association. On behalf of the IPMBA board, staff, members, and conference attendees, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the Baton Rouge Police Department and their partnering agencies for hosting the conference. We appreciate the support of Baton Rouge Mayor Kip Holden and the East Baton Rouge Parish Council; Chief Carl Dabadie and the Baton Rouge Police Department; Director Chad Guillot and East Baton Rouge EMS; Chief Lawrence Rabalais and the LSU Police Department; Sheriff Sid Gautreaux and the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriffs Office; Constable Reginald R. Brown and the Baton Rouge City Constable’s Office; and Chief Anthony Williams and the Baton Rouge Airport Police. We are also grateful for the generous in-kind and financial contributions from Visit Baton Rouge, Boudreaux & Thibodeaux’s, and the Baton Rouge business community. IPMBA would like to recognize the members of the Command Staff, identifiable by their blue Mocean shirts, who will be seen working hard to ensure you have an excellent experience. Special thanks to Baton Rouge Police Sergeant Craig Russell, Officers James Banks, Don Coppola, PCI #908, Kyle Callihan, PCI #1079, Reggie Kirton, Mark Weber, and Todd Webb; and LSU Officer Sarah Drake, who have already invested many hours and much effort into the planning and implementation of this conference. Their efforts have been supported by others too numerous to mention, but whose contributions are nonetheless essential to the success of the conference. Finally, IPMBA thanks Board Member Tom Harris, East Baton Rouge EMS, for bringing IPMBA back to Baton Rouge. After establishing East Baton Rouge as the first EMS agency to host an IPMBA Conference, he threw down the gauntlet for his colleagues at the Police Department. Fortunately for IPMBA, they took up the challenge. He has been an invaluable member of the Command Staff, for which both IPMBA and the BRPD are grateful. Welcome back to Baton Rouge!
