We miss you Brad
After a long hard fought battle with cancer over the last several months Brad passed last night (April 4th). Brad had been part of the CNCA/IPCA family from inception. Words and gestures of accolades seem insignificant when his body of work and overall contributions to the law enforcement K9 community over decades are considered. In many remarkable ways he was a visionary and we will never know how many K9 teams he helped come home at the end of shift.
He will surely be missed but always well remembered.
God Bless him and his family.
The family has requested private consolation at this time.
Memorial services are being planned.
