About this course

Two days of instruction for animal control officers and law enforcement on building cruelty cases that hold up in court. Sheriff Donald Yow of Marshall County walks through cruelty investigations from the first report through testimony, and Detective David Grant of the Moore Police Department covers search and seizure warrants, affidavit writing and enforcement.
