SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/4/21 - Avoiding Teeth and Bullets: Safely Interacting with Animals as a Law Enforcement Officer - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:From dogs and cats to wildlife and livestock\, law enforcement personnel often encounter animals on a weekly\, if not daily basis. The challenges of carrying out law enforcement duties when there is an animal component can be challenging\, stressful and dangerous. Understanding things like animal behavior and body language\, as well as various control techniques can make these instances safer and allow law enforcement to carry out the task at hand. Whether the assigned call for duty is directly related to the animal or the animal is peripheral\, understanding some basic animal handling techniques and animal behavior can be the difference between closing out a call and moving on to the next or ending up in the emergency room. \nOr click here to view and register for other upcoming NACA  webinars on the JCH Platform. \n\n \nThe 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. \n\nPresenters: \n\n\n\n \nChris Brosan is the Chief of Humane Law Enforcement for the Department of Animal Services in Loudoun County\, Virginia. He has been with the department for eight years\, is a former police officer\, and spent two and a half years as Manager of Strategic Campaigns and Special Projects with the Humane Society of the United States. With HSUS he traveled the country training law enforcement\, in 10 states and across the islands of Puerto Rico and Vieques\, on how to investigate animal cruelty\, the connection between animal abuse and human violence\, and navigating police and canine encounters. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/avoiding-teeth-and-bullets-safely-interacting-with-animals-as-a-law-enforcement-officer/
