Folks, from my contacts at BPD, I have offered the idea of an BPD IDPA match that would take place on "the island" that is the BPD range. I have been given the initial OK for such a match. This would be an LEO only match, at least the first annual, with (hopefully) extending to surrounding PDs in the future. I am waiting for more specific in terms of dates, but the general idea of such a match has been given the green light so far. That has been no easy thing...
I think this is an exciting and great PR opportunity for the IDPA, for LEO/civi interactions, and great training for the BPD LEOs who decide to attend. It's a win win for all involved.
What is needed now is, a Co-match director and SOs to set up and run this match, with myself involved also as Co-director. They must be IDPA affiliated, and experienced in running IDPA matches. I did approach someone from Metro West Tactical at the 5/17 classifier, but he felt they had their hands too full this season to run such a match.
Again, this match is in it's initial planning stages with many details to be worked out, but with the general OK given, I wanted to start putting the word out. PM me if interested in being part of this project as experienced IDPA match director and or SOs.
