Great article, Keri!
My contacts have always been with IPMBA — which was run by LAB until LAB neglected it so badly that the cops took their organization independent (and took with them LAB’s best staffer, former events director Maureen Becker, who remains with IPMBA to this day).
So I’m curious — did you learn why the Orlando people went with LEBA?

Steve, LEBA and IPMBA are international non-profit police training organizations and specialize in the bike area of police work. Both do an excellant job on bike skills, laws and community involvement. It’s kinda like Ford and Chevy.

Thanks. I do have a question other than the many on my list. Can you tell us briefly about LEBA versus IPMBA versus ??? I just want to understand the differences and similarities in their various orientation. Is it a regional thing or do some emphasize different skills or is it more of a “get gas from Shell versus Chevron” thing?

Well done illustration and use of multi media to exhibit the transgressions of the course. I can’t wait to approach a bike patrol man and ride along side. Cheers.
