NSA - Animal Cruelty

NSA Animal Cruelty is designed to assist law enforcement officers in recognizing and understanding the nexus between animal abuse and other criminal offenses. It contains multiple mini-training modules, questions to assist in determining if animal abuse is occurring in connection with crimes such as domestic violence, child abuse, and elder abuse, a resource section with informative website links, and the publication 'Animal Cruelty as a Gateway to More Serious Offenses'. It also contains a form for recording and documenting crimes while the officer is on-scene at an incident.
