NAPWDA AT A GLANCE
Founded in 1977, we are composed of law enforcement K9 officers throughout the U.S. and several other countries. We are dedicated to assisting police work dog teams throughout the world. We conduct in-service training throughout the year and hold a major national workshop yearly. Officers and their K9's attend these events for problem-solving, legal updates, new techniques in various phases of police work dog use and certifications to our standards. Check back often for new information.
Take Care and Stay Safe
