Officers involved in animal law enforcement face many of the same liability risks as traditional law enforcement—plus some that are unique to working with animals. There’s nothing more emotionally charged than removing someone’s child or pet, and even when officers—whether police, deputies, animal control, or humane officers—do everything by the book, they may still face allegations or lawsuits.

Laws around child welfare investigations are well established. But in many cases, the legal framework around animal seizures is far less clear. That uncertainty makes it harder to do the right thing, the right way, at the right time—without violating the owner’s rights. Sometimes, doing what feels right can still land you in trouble.

This webinar will explore where civil liability risks tend to arise in animal investigations, how to protect yourself from claims of civil rights violations, and what real-world cases have taught us—both about what went wrong, and what could have been prevented.
