A significant percentage of NBPA's membership is composed of City of Miami Employees who benefit from and volunteer their services to the NBPA cause. As the host city, we are asking for the City to donate $5 000 00 from the Laer Enforcement Trust Fund to offset the expense of the conference. The money is needed for training materials, guest speakers, publications, etc. The success of our conference depends on agencies such as the Miami Police Department and we look forward to your continued support.
