Animal Crime Scene Investigation – Level 3 (Formerly Animal Cruelty Investigation)

****This class was formerly called Animal Cruelty Investigation- Level III****

To attend this class: You must have attended a Level I and Level II Animal Cruelty Investigation course presented by the Vermont Humane Federation’s Animal Cruelty Response Coalition. Level I is being offered September 6, 2017 and Level II is being offered September 25, 2017. Registrations are limited to qualified humane agents sponsored by their municipality or police department and law enforcement officers.

This hands-on workshop will build on the information presented during the Level I and Level II workshops, by having participants use the skills and techniques they learned in the classroom in a real-life setting. Forget-me-Not Farm will serve as the host for a mock “crime scene” involving large animals. Participants will have the opportunity to:

• Practice their interview techniques, report-writing and evidence gathering skills in a group setting;
• Become more comfortable with handling equines by approaching and leading live animals;
• Use body scoring techniques in order to assist in determining animal health.

Participants must bring with them their Animal Cruelty Investigation manual.
