From February 9–12, our K-9 Unit traveled to Orange Beach for the 2026 United States Police Canine Association (USPCA) Region 1 Canine Trials — competing against 60 handlers from Florida, Alabama, and Georgia in patrol, narcotics, and explosive detection certifications. The 2026 USPCA Region One Field Trials featured a diverse range of events, including obedience, detection, and criminal apprehension challenges. Police K9 teams showcased their skills and expertise as they competed for certification and recognition in these vital areas of law enforcement work.
