The North American Police Work Dog Association (NAPWDA) was formed in 1977 and is composed of law enforcement officers throughout the United States and several other countries. Our mission is that we are Dedicated to Assisting Police Work Dog Teams Throughout the World. We conduct in service training workshops in various states throughout the year and hold a major national workshop in a different state yearly. Officers and their K9's attend these workshops for problem solving, legal updates, new techniques in various phases of police work dog use and certifications to our standards.

The North American Police Work Dog Association and I thank you for visiting our web site. Be sure to come back again as new information will appear often.

Take Care and Stay Safe, Jim Watson, National Secretary.
