A 40-hour humane officer training course will be held in Madison from September 21-25. The course, hosted in partnership with the University of Missouri-Extension Law Enforcement Training Institute, provides humane officers with the knowledge and skills they need to investigate animal abuse, enforce animal welfare laws, and support public health initiatives.
Course Details
Course participants will learn from experienced veterinarians, attorneys, and law enforcement professionals. The training is mandatory for all humane officers in Wisconsin within their first year of appointment.
Humane officers play a critical role in local communities by responding to complaints of neglect, assisting with public health programs, and ensuring responsible pet ownership through education and enforcement. In Wisconsin, any non-law enforcement person serving as a humane officer must be appointed by the governing body of a local jurisdiction.
