President's note



Brian Peterman and K9 LACY

Oct. 30, 2007

Welcome to the CADA web site. I want to thank all the members for electing me as the President of CADA. I will continue the hard work and professionalism as the past officers of this association.

I also want to take this opportunity to thank Jeanne Brock for her hard work over the years and Auburn University for hosting the 2007 Conference.  We had 16 K9 Teams attend the conference

participating in fire scene search, vehicle searches and completing the CADA Proficiency Testing.

There are many new changes up and coming in the canine accelerant detection world. I want members of CADA to be a part of these changes, and also to increase our membership by networking with other accelerant detection organizations. I encourage anyone  interested in the canine accelerant detection field to contact me or one of the CADA officers to join this association. I also encourage all members to continue to be active in this association.

Sincerely,
Brian S. Peterman

President, CADA
