Attention all Law Enforcement and Military K9 Handlers! The American
Tactical K9 Association (ATK9) is excited to announce the quarterly
Team Impact Award (TIA), and we invite you to apply. The TIA honors
exceptional K9 teams that have made significant impacts during an
investigation, arrest, or apprehension that demonstrated
professionalism, judgment, and bravery. Anyone can nominate a
deserving K9 team by submitting a nomination, complete with a picture
and the details of the case. Each quarter, the winning team will be
featured on the ATK9 website. At the end of the year, the ATK9 board
members will select the TIA Case of the Year from the quarterly
winners. The prestigious award includes free registration to a future
ATK9 event at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center in Indiana. Don't
miss this incredible opportunity to showcase your K9 team's bravery
and achievements. Apply now and let your heroics shine!

Submit your nominee along with a current photo of the team and details of the case to [email protected]. The ATK9 board of directors will choose quarterly winners along with the TIA Team of the Year.
*The nomination is available to all law enforcement and military k9 teams.**
