ABOUT THE KPDA
WELCOME TO THE KANSAS POLICE DOG ASSOCIATION ONLINE PORTAL
The members of the Kansas Police Dog Association represent law enforcement and public safety agencies from across the State of Kansas. Our teams also occasionally include agencies outside the boundaries of the State of Kansas. The training and disciplines of our teams include Patrol canines, detection canines, tracking/trailing canines, and Search and Rescue canine teams.
The goal of the Kansas Police Dog Association is to give handlers throughout the State quality training opportunities, coupled with solid networking options, to ensure each team is the best team they can be for their agency. "Nothing Less Than Perfection In The Application of Standards" is not only our motto, but it drives everything we do! Take a look around, "LIKE US" on Facebook, "Follow Us" on Twitter and let us know if you have any questions.
