The United States Police Canine Association (USPCA) is a nonprofit organization established in 1971 through the merger of two canine associations. Based in Ottertail, Minnesota, the group operates within the law enforcement sector, focusing on promoting and certifying quality trained police canine teams and providing a neutral forum for idea and information exchange among members. Its activities support a nationwide community of canine handlers and agencies by offering an organized platform for professional development, standards, and collaboration. A recent development highlights the organization’s ongoing involvement in national events, with USPCA members participating in and achieving top results at the 2026 National Detector Dog Trials in Atlantic City.
