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.

  • 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.
