POA's Message
As Chief of Police for the Indio Police Department, I extend a warm welcome to our charity website and encourage your support for our Memorial cause.
Our department prides itself on being a progressive and innovative force, collaborating closely with community members, businesses, and public service groups to address crime and quality of life issues in Indio neighborhoods. Our dedication to community policing has earned us national recognition as a leader in our field.
In 2016, we were honored to be selected as one of fifteen agencies nationwide to implement recommendations from the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing. These achievements are a testament to the invaluable partnership we share with our community members in ensuring public safety.
Having served with the Indio Police Department since January 2018, first as Assistant Chief and now as Chief of Police, I am deeply committed to building upon our past successes and leading our department to further excellence.
​
Our mission is clear: to safeguard and enhance the quality of life in Indio through traditional and innovative policing methods, while fostering trust and confidence in our department. With our motto, “Our Community...Our Commitment,” guiding us, we stand united with the residents of Indio to create a safer, stronger community.

Dear Supporters,
Since its founding in 1967, the Indio Police Officers Association (IPOA) has remained dedicated to advocating for the rights, benefits, and working conditions of the men and women of the Indio Police Department. As a nonprofit organization, we are proud to continue serving both our members and our community with integrity, transparency, and a deep sense of purpose.
Today, the IPOA proudly represents all police officers, along with support staff in the classifications of Community Service Officer, Dispatcher, Property and Evidence Officer, and Crime Analyst.
Since 2004, the IPOA has had the honor of supporting the John Rose Memorial. This partnership has been central to our mission, allowing us to raise critical funds through events like our annual golf tournament, Dine with a Cop and many more. These efforts directly support officers and their families in times of need—especially in the unfortunate event of injury or death in the line of duty.
Please know that your contributions are treated with the utmost care and responsibility. The memorial’s trustees and leadership are committed to sound fiscal stewardship, ensuring that every dollar is used effectively to provide meaningful support. Thanks to your generosity, we have been able to assist numerous officers and their loved ones, and we are especially proud to have awarded over thousand in dollars in educational scholarships to officers and their children.
On behalf of the entire Indio Police Officers Association, I extend our heartfelt thanks. Your continued support makes our mission possible—and together, we are making a lasting impact.
Sincerely,
Viktor Custic
President, Indio Police Officers Association
