I am so glad APD is finally training a police officer in the investigation of animal cruelty. It will certainly help Animal Control to have an officer that can assist them and bring animal cruelty to light and justice. I know it's only one officer, but it's better then what we had before. Hopefully it is something that APD will expand on. It is long overdue these animals have a voice. These animal cruelty cases need to be put in the paper with the names of these abusers so everyone knows who they are (same with the abuse of people). It's just sad that animal cruelty is only a misdemeanor.
