Animal Cruelty Training Initiative

On July 31, 2009, Act 33 an Act concerning Aggravated Cruelty to Dogs, Cats and Horses and Related Offenses and Concerning Animal Management, will be in effect.

To provide guidance in conducting investigations under the new law, Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel has provided funding to the Criminal Justice Institute to develop and deliver animal cruelty training to the Arkansas law enforcement community. In accomplishing this goal CJI is committed to working closely with General McDaniel and his staff as well as law enforcement officers and deputies across the State.

Below are links to information and resources that are currently available to assist you. Additional information including a description and schedule of classes will become available as we continue the curriculum development process.
