When should you charge? Is it Simple or Gross Neglect? When does it rise to Cruelty? Do you know? Are you letting them slide when you should be charging them? This presentation will examine how to make the call. We will have interactive slides and interactive participation with a discussion about the answers. We will explore strategies to gain compliance and the cut-off point to charge and move through the criminal justice process.

The National Animal Care & Control Association (NACA) was formed in 1978 for the express purpose of assisting its members to perform their duties in a professional manner. We believe only carefully selected and properly trained animal control personnel can correct community problems resulting from irresponsible animal ownership. NACA’s purpose is to preserve the Human/Animal Bond by insisting on responsible animal ownership.
