International Police Canine Association

Formerly California Narcotic Canine Association

Focusing on Quality K9 Team Training & Certification

IPCA Certification / Training Day Schedule

IPCA organizes Certification / Training events throughout the year that are set up according to IPCA’s Certification Standards for each discipline (ie. narcotic, explosive, patrol).

All training events attendees will receive college credits

These events are for K9 Handlers and their dogs to train and / or certify as a team. Any IPCA member can come to a Certification / Training event and use it for training or to certify as a team. These Certification / Training days cost nothing as long as the handler membership is current. Members can attend as many as they like throughout the year.  All certifying officials are available to help with questions, problem solving, or issues the member may want to address.

IPCA’s best practice recommendation is to certify as a team at least annually.

As soon as the exact locations and dates have been established by the IPCA board, the information will be listed below.

For more information on possible training and/or to request certifications in your area, please Contact IPCA admin or use our Contact form to contact your nearest Certifying Official.
