Our prayers go out to all of our Troops protecting us overseas on deployment across the country and in particular, our Vice President, Richard Stepp, who is currently serving with the United States Navy. May God keep you and your families out of harms way.
From all of us with the IPOF,
– Todd Rosenberg, IPOF President
On behalf of the IPOF and all the men and women in law enforcement in Clark County, I would like to thank all of those who helped with our First Annual Classic Car Show on March 30, 2008 at Sunset Park. As a result of the dedication and hard work on the part of not only the volunteers with the Injured Police Officers Fund, but also the Metro MVP's, the Las Vegas Cruisin' Association and Commissioner Bruce Woodbury, the car show was successful and exceeded our expectations. We were also able to bring THREE truckloads of food to the East Valley Family Services. (Photo by RD Harding Jr: Sheriff Douglas C.

A special thanks to our major sponsors, Justice Injury Lawyers, Sydney Kramer, Clark County Parks and Recreation, Barry Mitidiere, Southwest Glazing, Henderson Corvettes, Sin City Corvettes and Fromhart. We look forward to seeing all of you again in 2009!

Siegfried and Roy paid a visit to City Hall on Monday, April 3, 2006. The legendary duo handed a large check of $20,000 to Sheriff Bill Young. Their generous donation is benefiting the Injured Police Officers Fund (IPOF), a nonprofit organization created to help officers and their families who have been seriously injured or killed in the line of duty.
The Injured Police Officers Fund (IPOF) was formed in October of 1982 when
LVMPD Motor Officer James MacLaren was shot in the head during a traffic stop. Fortunately, Officer MacLaren survived his injuries however; he was forced into medical retirement.
The IPOF held its first fund-raiser when Sheriff John Moran and his wife Goldie Moran hosted "A night out with the stars." All of the funds raised from this event were donated to the MacLaren family and the IPOF was born.
In 1982, the IPOF represented the Officers of LVMPD, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City and the Southern Region of Nevada Highway Patrol. In 1992 the IPOF added the City of Mesquite Police to our organization. In 1995, under the leadership of Sheriff Jerry Keller, the IPOF added the Officers of the City of Las Vegas Detention and Enforcement, University of Nevada Las Vegas Police, Clark County Park Police and Clark County School District Police.
The IPOF is comprised of sworn law enforcement officers from each of the member agencies. Each agency has one primary and one alternate representative. These officers volunteer their time and are appointed by the Chief of Police of their agency, or in the case of LVMPD Officers, the Sheriff of Clark County.
The IPOF typically holds at least one major fundraiser each year. The annual John and Goldie Moran Memorial Golf Classic. The IPOF is currently working on an additional fundraiser in conjunction with the Las Vegas Cruisin Association. This fundraiser will be an oldies car show, to be held in early 2008.
The IPOF also works with various community non-profit organizations within the Las Vegas area throughout the year, including friends of Metro K9.
The IPOF will assist with expenses not covered by Industrial Insurance for serious line of duty injuries or a line of duty death. These expenses may include, but are not limited to, reimbursement for equipment damaged, childcare expenses not normally incurred and other expenses on a case by case basis.
