50th Anniversary

Just a reminder to all members that the 2012 fall seminar hosted by the Connecticut State Police in Meriden, Connecticut, will mark the 50th anniversary of the National Police Bloodhound Association. Please mark your calendar for October 10 to 12 and begin saving some funds so you are able to be in attendance for this extraordinary anniversary seminar.
