2026 Decoy School is officially underway!

Our week-long Decoy School kicked off today with 20+ participants working toward becoming certified decoys.

We’re also proud to have K-9 teams from multiple agencies across Virginia assisting throughout the week. Their experience, teamwork, and dedication make this week-long school possible.

We’re looking forward to a great week of training!

We join in mourning the loss of K-9 Knight, who was killed in the line of duty on May 31, 2026.

Our deepest condolences go out to Cpl. John Walsh, the Chesterfield County (VA) Police Department, and all who knew and loved K-9 Knight. His dedication, bravery, and faithful service to his handler and community will always be remembered.

Thank you for your sacrifice, K-9 Knight. Your watch has ended, but your legacy of service will live on.
