EQUINE INVESTIGATIONS ACADEMY (EIA)
Certified Equine Cruelty Investigation Training
The Equine Investigations Academy (EIA) provides training in the different aspects of horse abuse investigations. This in-residence academy uses classroom and hands-on instruction with a large number of horses to teach a systematic approach for equine cruelty investigators.
Code 3 Associates has been conducting this training since 1998, and prior to that was involved with a similar school. This unique academy was designed for the humane investigator – federal, state and local officers as well as prosecuting attorneys who are currently involved in equine cruelty cases.
The Equine Investigations Academy’s two levels, consisting of 48 hours each, will provide instruction in all aspects of horse abuse investigations. Level I must be taken before Level II.
Many of the topics included in this academy can be taught as stand-alone courses. Please contact us if you are interested.
