AACIS has unified our organization through education and experience. This standardization has transformed our agency into one of the most knowledgable and professional agencies in our region.
I've taken several certification courses with other national organizations in the past. None of them come close to the quality of the courses offered by AACIS.
AACIS provided our animal control division with a solid foundation and the framework to allow our officers to serve the citizens of our county.
These courses were exactly what our agency needed! Our patrol deputies are now armed with the knowledge and experience needed to successfully conduct an animal cruelty investigation.
Even with 22 years of experience as a former law enforcement officer and 7 as an animal control officer, the amount of new material in the courses is amazing.
Every new animal control officer should attend these training courses. They provide detailed, relevant information that is applied in scenario-based training exercises.
The American Animal Cruelty Investigations school is the most active training institute in the United States, training approximately 1100 students each years and producing over 5000 certified officers and investigators since 2014.
