Trainer Certifications

STOP:   before you continue,  if you intend to submit a trainers application - please FOLLOW THE REQUIREMENTS.   We are getting far to many incomplete submissions which create a lot of work.    Make sure you have all the forms you are going to need BEFORE you start this process.       These are the forms you are going to need and they must be in WORD or PDF,  NOT A JPEG (picture).     

                                                     1)  You will need a copy of your certificate of certification showing graduation from a police K9 Course in the field in which you are applying.   
                                                     2)  You will need a copy of the training course & lesson plan that you use. 
                                                     3)  Letterhead letter from your department showing you are assigned as the department trainer 
                                                     4)   PDF copies of Certificates as needed,  for the teams you have trained.  AND the Survey to go along with. 
                                                     5)  If more than one trainer was involved (claiming the same teams)  you must attach a letter from the K9 supervisor or head of training. 
                                                     6)   Brief letter from a region board member confirming their acceptance of your submission.  
                                                     7)   Any additional certificates of certification from the USPCA 
         Do not proceed or submit the application unless you have all the needed forms.   The above list may not be applicable to all trainer applications,  so see the requirements below.

Intentional misrepresentation of any paperwork could result in the removal of the submitting party, as well as anyone who has knowingly submitted inaccurate surveys,  from this Association.
