About Us

The Dogs Against Drugs/Dogs Against Crime (DAD/DAC) National Law Enforcement K9 Association is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the betterment of law enforcement K9 operations and to educating our youth on the dangers of drug abuse. We conduct training seminars for K9 officers to improve their skills and abilities, helping them to better serve their communities. We also conduct anti-drug educational presentations for children through our Puppy Patrol anti-drug education program.

DAD/DAC provides grants to officers for purchasing highly-trained special purpose dogs and related training equipment and supplies and to provide training for the officer and/or dog. As part of our program, we also conduct working/training seminars for K9 officers on numerous topics related to police service dogs. Many police departments also contact us for assistance with information on training, equipment, recent case law and other resources for canine operations.

The DAD/DAC team takes a special interest in working with children. We recognize the tremendous impact drug abuse can have on their young lives, and through Puppy Patrol anti-drug education program, we provide an entertaining, educational and motivating message on the dangers of using drugs.

DAD/DAC was founded by police officers with an interest in helping our youth understand the importance of being a responsible member of society and serving fellow officers in the field of K9 operations. We are dedicated to helping stop the drug menace that plagues our society and threatens our most precious asset - our children!
