The Washington State Police Canine Association (WSPCA) is a non-profit organization that promotes the educational advancement, welfare, and safety of canine teams in law enforcement throughout Washington State.

During the seminar, funds are raised for the 'Retired Police K-9 Fund'. This fund helps provide financial support for retired Police K-9's. Police K-9s live with their handlers after retirement from police work and typically have medical bills and other expenses inherited by their handler.
