These courses are designed to educate and inform a wide variety of professionals, including animal control officers, veterinary professionals, first responders, animal welfare workers, Department of Agriculture employees and members of animal rescue groups, among others.

  The economic crunch is affecting so many agencies, and the first budget item cut is training. Code 3 Associates wants to help insure that officers get the quality training they need to provide professional services to their communities. Through May 2011, tuition costs for the Cruelty Investigators Academy (CIA) and the Animal Disaster Responder Academy have been reduced to $400 for Level I courses and $450 for Levels II and III. Limited scholarships are still available, however discounts have been suspended due to the lowered cost. Take advantage of these savings now by enrolling in a class near you!
