Is your organization hiring? Bringing on new members to the team can be an exciting time! However, how do you know your choosing the right person for the job? What started out as an exciting prospect can end in civil liability or forced separation from employment. Is it possible to pick the right candidate, after only having met them in an interview? In this session, we will explore tips and tricks to hiring progressive Animal Control Officers into the ever-evolving field of animal welfare.

Other Webinars in this Series Include:

The National Law Enforcement Center on Animal Abuse was established by the National Sheriffs’ Association to provide law enforcement officers information on the realities of animal abuse and to promote their proactive involvement in the enforcement of animal abuse laws in their communities. Through our partners, the Center will serve as an information clearinghouse and forum for law enforcement on the growing problem of animal abuse and its link to other types of crimes, including violence against humans. The Center also promotes officer safety in officer-dog encounters through continuing education and training.

The National Animal Care & Control Association (NACA) was formed in 1978 for the express purpose of assisting its members to perform their duties in a professional manner. We believe only carefully selected and properly trained animal control personnel can correct community problems resulting from irresponsible animal ownership. NACA’s purpose is to preserve the Human/Animal Bond by insisting on responsible animal ownership.
