Central Alabama Police K-9 Association

Central Alabama Police K-9 Association CAPK9 is an organization made up of police officers, canine handlers, supervisors, and administrators from throughout the State of Alabama.

Our group consists of law enforcement from municipal, county, and state agencies working toward a common goal of training standards and practices for police canines within the State of Alabama. Please take time to peruse the site and feel free to Contact Us. CAPK9 is committed to providing a quality education program that exceeds expectations. We believe our intense methods of handler education c

ontribute to the increasing success of our program. The handler school for a single-purpose detection canine is four weeks long, with two written examinations. The handler school for a dual-purpose canine is six weeks long, with four written examinations. A minimum score of 80% is required on all examinations. Additional weekly evaluations are conducted on the handler/canine team, and if acceptable scores are not achieved, written notice is sent to the department head. Certification is conducted at various locations to simulate realistic situations the team may encounter on the street. Detector dogs must successfully locate fourteen finds at seven locations while being subjected to numerous distractions. While patrol dogs must meet the same standards as the detector dogs, they must also successfully demonstrate the principles of handler protection and officer safety. Handler protection and officer (human and canine) safety are taught and stressed throughout the course. Certification is included in the price of the course. We guarantee performance upon completion of the course, provided the handler maintains the proper training and documentation taught during the course. We offer k-9 training courses

I’m always blown away by how amazing these bagels are, especially when I'm in the middle of my track training! Every single one seems to be even better than the last, with fantastic flavor and texture. Seriously, they’re some of the best bagels I’ve ever had while training, and they give me such a nice boost to make the experience even more enjoyable!
