Animal Care and Control Officers from across USA coming to Charleston

The National Animal Control & Humane Officer Academy (NACHO) will be hosting its training February 4^th through 8^th at Charleston Animal Society. The goal of NACHO is to deliver a new higher standard in animal care and cruelty investigation training.

NACHO was developed by The National Animal Care and Control Association and Code 3 Associates, two of the leading animal control training organizations in the country.

This week-long training is only the first part of a comprehensive and hands-on 120-hour course that provides national certification in animal control and animal cruelty investigations for law enforcement professionals.

Over 45 officers, and nearly half from South Carolina will attend the training at the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office. “We are proud to be able bring the highest standard in professional animal care and control training to South Carolina, something that hasn’t happened in over a decade. Our hope is that this is just one of many other training opportunities to come that will help our state.”
