Los Angeles Police Emerald Society Pipes and Drums

The Los Angeles Police Emerald Society (LAPES) Pipes and Drums are an independent Emerald Society chapter and a member of the National Conference of Law Enforcement Emerald Societies. The Band consists of members who are active, former, or retired law enforcement officers from law enforcement agencies throughout the Southern California area. Individuals with no prior law enforcement background are also a vital part of the Band; the only condition is that they have a sincere desire to support the law enforcement community. The Band is a non-profit organization and all Band members volunteer their time. They are the only Police Emerald Society Pipe Band on the west coast of the United States. The Band respectfully plays at services, memorials, and tributes for police officers, firefighters, and military personnel who have made the ultimate sacrifice. They support law enforcement, firefighters, and the military by playing at any event that will serve the respective agency or organization. Prior events at which LAPES have played include dedications to new facilities, retirements, banquets, picnics, graduation ceremonies, valor award ceremonies, welcome home celebrations for military personnel, and funerals for retired or former law enforcement, firefighters, or military.

Proceeds from the 103rd Anniversary Dinner & Gala Celebration will

benefit the ongoing educational and public affairs activities and programs

of the Japan America Society of Southern California. Every year we

sponsor nearly 40 programs and events serving up to 15,000 individuals.

These programs feature leaders in the fields of business, politics,

academics and arts and culture.


The Japan America Society of Southern California was founded in

1909 to build economic, cultural, governmental and personal

relationships between the people of Japan and America. We are the West

Coast’s premier educational and public affairs forum dedicated to the

Unites States-Japan relationship.

The Society is a qualified 501(c) (3) non-profit, charitable and

educational organization consisting of individuals and corporations with

an interest in Japan and in United States–Japan relations. Our membership

is open to the general public and currently includes 135 Japanese and

American company members, and over 2,000 individual members.

We offer unique opportunities to become involved in the business

and cultural relationship between the two countries. Our active calendar

of events includes breakfast and luncheon programs, business networking

mixers, weekend family events, and programs highlighting art, music,

fashion, film, performing arts and other special activities.
