International MTB Assiociation- National MTB Patrol........ www.imba.com/nmbpPatrols can form anywhere at any level...... Paul Arlinghaus, the HMBA President would like to see this program at the state level, and I concur. What we will do is have 1 statewide patrol program, with different subsectors, regions, or districts based on local groupings of trails with local/disrict leaders and instructors... The overall program is called the Hoosier Trail Patrol... training is easy.... and or as complex as people want to make it. Please view the NMBP site and also evvemabike.googlepages.com/hmbahoosiertrailpatrol also if you weren't aware , please view evvemabike.googlepages.com for the EMA team which is exactly like the HTP but is integrated into EMS/Emergency Management . The EMA team is open to the General public..... If you would like to join us please do. There's only 4 people on it currently, and 3 of them ARE the Hoosier Trail Patrol, as we are the only 3 people certified in the state. I paid out of pocket for the Hosier Trail Patrol to be registered with NMBP, and if you go floating around the NMBP site, the Indiana Trail Patrol is not the right, or even an existing group FYI. Also- Spencer Powilson, the IMBA, NMBP Field Coordinator is developing a new instructor program, as there really wasn't one previously. The program should be released mid late summer and at that point Patroller certification programs will begin around the state, and large scale organization will follow. I hope to see HTP as a whole integrated into statewide emergency management and playing a support role in disaster response.... It's too much to type out- so please give me a call if you want to check out such places as the Vanderburgh EMA and how bikes and you can play a role in all of it..... |
