Question
Hi, i know this is going to sound weird, but i want to be an Animal Cruelty Police Officer, But i don't know what i have to do to become one. I'm 17 and i would love to get started with my future career. Can you please tell me everything i have to do to become one. Thank you.
Krystal,
I would think in most areas they have the same or similar requirements as a police officer. As they usually carry a gun and have some arrest powers. I would call your local county dog warden to see what requirements they have. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Jim
