Full Membership to this Association shall be open to any active full-time paid law enforcement officer, whether Federal, State, County or Municipal, who is a canine handler, trainer or administrator, pending approval of regional elected officers.  This shall include members of the Military Police who may be canine handlers, trainers, or administrators. Any full member may continue as such in the event he or she enters military service and later returns to canine law enforcement on a full-time basis.  See below for information on Membership types.   

Please note that regional elected officials must approve memberships for their respective regions.

 

It's easy to join!  NEW MEMBERS -  WELCOME!  JUST CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW TO JOIN!    We recommend using a personal email vs a department email, as our domain is often bounced by department email security.    

Online Application   (NEW members only)
