Animals are a huge part of our community whether as pets or as wildlife. Many times people encounter situations with animals and do not know what action, if any, to take. The purpose of these classes is to educate, so the encounters people do have with animals are as safe and as positive as possible.

Below are examples of topics that our Animal Control Officers encounter every day. These presentations can be geared toward the general public (adults or children) or can be targeted for the criminal justice community. The list below contains broad topics. Any of our material can be tailored to fit your specific needs.
