Animal Control Administrator

This ACO Administrator course is specifically designed to help anyone that is tasked with supervising an animal control program who has little to no previous experience in animal control. As happens frequently, the animal control program will be handed to someone who has never worked in this field, has more than one unit under their supervision, or both.

During the two days of class, we will review all the main laws animal control officers have to navigate in their daily job duties. We will examine the rabies virus and how it affects communities in Texas as well as the laws dealing with it. Finally, we will discuss the differences in what non-sworn personnel are able to do and how to effectively build and manage an animal control program.
