About IPCA
World Class Leader in Patrol, Narcotic, Explosive, Firearm and Electronic Storage Devices Law Enforcement Detection, K9 Training, and Instruction
The initial mission of IPCA in 1991 was to train, educate, and raise the standards of law enforcement narcotic detection dogs in the State of California. Over the last twenty years, IPCA membership has expanded to almost every state of the USA and internationally on five continents. We have now expanded our curriculum to include narcotic, explosive, and patrol training and instruction. The sole reason for the continuing success, expansion, and growth of IPCA rests in the indisputable fact we consistently bring the best training, provided by the best instructors, resulting in the best K9 teams deployed on the streets in the US and around the world.
IPCA is recognized by the California Commission for Police Officer Standards and Training as an organization dedicated solely toward enhancing the professionalism and training of law enforcement canine teams. IPCA provides its membership with an information hotline to assist handlers with case law issues for court cases. We also provide expert witnesses to assist in the successful prosecution of cases.
As a result of the tragic events that unfolded on September 11th, 2001, the mission of IPCA has evolved. It became necessary that IPCA expand its presence in the training and education of canine detection to include explosive detection dogs and handlers. It is our goal to help raise and maintain high levels and standards of explosive detection dog teams so that they may better be able assist in all aspects and levels of Homeland Security.
As all things evolve and change, so has IPCA. As a result of the direct request from our membership, IPCA is excited to announce that we have added a full complement of patrol classes to our curriculum. Law enforcement Patrol K9 Certification is now available in addition to narcotic and explosive certification.
Because it is our mission to bring the best instruction and training available to our membership, we endeavor to seek out world recognized experts in every K9 training task relevant to the worldwide law enforcement K9 community.
Once again, welcome to IPCA, we look forward to your membership and participation. Remember always, in all ways “In Dog We Trust.”
