The Police K-9 Association promotes service and safety in our communities through the efficient deployment and use of K-9 teams. The PK9A® consists of 60 active and retired teams who represent 20 individual police and sheriff departments across Ohio. K-9’s play a vital role in communities by providing a myriad of missions consisting of drug enforcement, criminal apprehension, officer safety, tracking, detection, and search and rescue. As the need for K-9’s continues to grow, so does our organization’s responsibility to support our K-9 teams.
Our predecessors formed the PK9A® in 1985 with the intent to assist a single department for their own needs. Over nearly four decades, our organization has grown exponentially, reaching far past Canton, Ohio. In our partnership with the Canton Police Department K-9 Unit, we offer training to all our active K-9 teams on a weekly basis. We prepare and state certify teams involved in narcotics and explosives detection, tracking, patrol, and general obedience.
City and county financial budgets often limit or exclude needed funding for K-9’s within their department. The PK9A® bridges the gap to cover K-9 related expenses to ensure our teams are equipped with the imperative items and training they need.
