Humane Academy
Basic Animal Law Enforcement Academy
Each year, the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA in cooperation with the State Humane Association, provides a Basic Animal Law Enforcement Academy at the San Diego Campus for Animal Care.
The Basic Animal Law Enforcement Academy, also known as the Humane Academy, is intended to provide the training in animal care and California humane laws required under Corporations Code section 14502 for appointment and reappointment as a humane officer. Please note, however, that the final decision as to whether a course satisfies the training requirements rests with the superior court charged with confirming the appointment / reappointment.
