Each year we host a private venue that attracts gay and lesbian public safety and military from throughout the world, this rare event is called “PARTY IN THE DESERT – PID”. This venue is hosted at a private hotel in Palm Springs California July 26-28 and is a professional pool party weekend with bar, BBQ, Social Games and a annual meeting of these highly trained professionals to help advance our Mission Statement, striving to be a part of the gay, lesbian community. At this event, Protect and Defend will donate to a charity in the Coachella Valley that serves the gay and lesbian community.

The purpose of this event is to foster a ongoing communication and relationship with members of our profession throughout the United States and beyond.
