Law Enforcement Training

The Animal-Human Bond: Investigating Crimes Against Animals

5 Hours

Law Enforcement CEUs available

Learn how to properly investigate criminal cases involving animal cruelty. Lack of knowledge, training and resources can lead to poorly handled animal cruelty cases which do not hold up in court. Despite the fact that animal cruelty is often an indicator of other violent tendencies, these cases do not always receive the attention they should. This training has the following objectives:

  • Define Cruelty to Animals and know the different types.
  • Identify the difference between a Felony and a Misdemeanor.
  • Understand the importance of processing and securing live evidence.
  • Define and understand the importance of Personal Protective Equipment.
  • Know the difference between Dog Fighting and Cock Fights.
  • How to charge someone with multiple counts of Cruelty to Animals when investigating a case involving numerous animals.
  • Understand important motions that must be filed in court and the proper procedure on filing them.
