About Us
Founded in 2014, The Oakland Police Department Canine Association was established to support the needs of the Oakland Police Department (OPD) Canine Unit.
Our mission is to protect the community and its police officers by training and using canine teams to locate criminal suspects and evidence. Our canine teams assist in
narcotic detection, search and rescue, explosive detection and criminal apprehension.
