Welcome to NPBA

Setting the Standard Since 1962

Considering a Bloodhound for your agency?

If you use a Man-Trailing Bloodhound in Law Enforcement or, are considering getting a Bloodhound for your department, the National Police Bloodhound Association is the oldest law enforcement Bloodhound association in the country, and the most experienced when it comes to the utilization of the Man-Trailing Bloodhound.  Membership into the oldest Bloodhound Organization is a must for the new handler / agency.

How can you help NPBA?

Help us make a difference!

The NPBA is a 501(c)3 association that prides itself in sharing knowledge to handlers all over the world of the best practices in man-trailing efforts.  The NPBA accepts donations to support our mission of providing training, equipment, resources and outreach to support law enforcement agencies and communities in need.
