Animal control officers play a critical role in community safety and animal welfare. What questions do you have about starting out?
Before you jump in, do a ride-along with your local ACO unit and knock out NACA Level 1 (https://www.nacanet.org) to see if the mix of ‘community safety’ and animal handling fits you. I love the work, but , the after-hours calls and court paperwork can be a grind — make sure your city pays overtime and covers rabies vax. @OP, would you be okay being on call some weekends?
