Best Friends Presents: The term “community engagement” gets thrown around a lot, as if it is something that an officer can do if they have a few extra minutes. To unlock the full potential of community engagement, however, we must start thinking of it as less of a project and more of a state of mind. This lifesaving philosophy will not only help save the lives of animals but could potentially save an officer’s life as well. In this course you will learn how embracing community engagement as a mindset can, and will, increase lifesaving efforts and officer safety.
