Want to help out on the front lines, helping abused and neglected animals in Louisiana?

Let the pros teach you the basics, at the Humane Society of Louisiana's upcoming Cruelty Investigations Workshop. We've offered training courses for humane investigators and law enforcement professionals for more than 20 years. HSL is also the state's only licensed 'pet detective' agency; we rely on the services of trained volunteer investigators to respond to and/or assist with animal abuse and neglect complaints statewide.

Not sure if you want to become an investigator? Come learn more about what's involved. The course covers information about the state's animal protection laws and their enforcement, which is useful to anyone interested in animal protection.

Participants will review the local and state animal cruelty laws and how to use them in aiding animals in distress. Field investigation practices, report writing, crime scene documentation and court room presentation will also be reviewed.

The course runs 11-3:30 with a 1 hour break for lunch/networking with likeminded people. Light refreshments only provided.

$10 donation appreciated to help cover costs.
