INTERNATIONAL POLICE ASSOCIATION UNITED STATES SECTION

REGION 6 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

Hosting

An important benefit of membership is the ability to host police officers from throughout the United States and the from other countries. Hosting can be as simple as merely providing information to a visitor, providing a ride-along or providing other opportunities to visit police facilities or meet fellow officer, to picking someone up at the airport, inviting them home for dinner, or letting them use a spare room at our home. It is entirely up to you as to when you will host and what hosting activities you will provide at any time. This page lists some basic information on those seeking hosting assistance. If you see an opportunity to host someone, merely write an email to the 2nd Vice President (hosting) providing your contact information and he will make arrangements with you. You must be an active member of IPA Region 6 to serve as a host. If you are an IPA member looking to find hosting in Region 6, you must make your Travel Arrangements through the appropriate Region Secretary or the respective Associate Secretary. Check back frequently as the requests change quickly.
 
We are coming into the vacation period where many IPA members will be seeking hosting and other assistance. Please check back here regularly if you are interested in providing assistance.
 
Please contact Eric Dirksen for more information or to offer hosting assistance in Los Angeles to the following visitors or to offer hosting in the future.
 
NOTE: In July 2016 Region 6 is hosting the International Youth Group. Upto 25 children or grandchildren of IPA members from around the world will be hosted by the Region on behalf of the National Association during the last two weeks of July, 2016.
