TRAINING
The 2020 State Humane Agent Training is in development. As a result of Covid-19, we will not be conducting in person training seminars at this time and instead are developing webinars specifically designed for Minnesota Law Enforcement, current certified MFHS State Humane Agents and new recruits. Each one hour session will provide 1 hour of continuing education credit.
Dates and times for training webinars will be posted here on our MFHS website, on our MFHS Facebook and MFHS State Humane Agent group pages. Invitations to register for the webinars will be sent to Minnesota Law Enforcement and MFHS State Humane Agents 2 weeks in advance. Register early to make sure you get a virtual seat as space is limited. Stay tuned.
Upcoming MFHS/HSUS Law Enforcement Education Series Webinars are as follows:
1) The first webinar will cover Minnesota Animal Welfare Law and Basic Field Education.
2) The second webinar will cover Approaching Dogs and Field Education.
3) The third webinar in the MFHS Law Enforcement Educational Series will will cover Animal Fighting. Training conducted by Bob DeWitt, a 40 year police veteran with 20 years of animal welfare law enforcement/animal fighting. Guest panelists/moderators; Sgt. Mike Frye-Mpls. PD/Investigations, Jena Wasche-MACC/ACO/Investigations, Elisa Johnson-MFHS/ED/State Humane Agent/Investigations, Christine Coughlin-HSUS/MN Director
Thank you to to our wonderful colleagues at HSUS and to the sponsors Justice Clearinghouse and NACA for your support and collaboration.
Invitations to attend this training will be sent via email to all current certified agents, interested law enforcement and qualified applicants.
