Beyond Enforcement: Insights into Community-Centered Field Services

Traditionally, field services or animal control roles have been dedicated to enforcement: impounding animals, tackling cruelty and neglect, getting unsafe animals off the streets, and issuing citations to people violating animal statutes. Field services roles are changing, expanding into community-centered practices to support people and pets through community outreach, supplies and food, helping pet owners access vet care, and getting lost pets home. What can these changes mean for your organization and community? Tune into this webinar recording with experts Dr. Josh Fisher, Director of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care and Control and Board President for the National Animal Care and Control Association (NACA); Mike Wheeler, Director of Community Services for the City of Cabot and NACA Board Member; and Scott Giacoppo, Director of National Shelter Support for Best Friends Animal Society, for insights into the transformation of field services. Vincent Medley, Maddie’s® Director of Human Animal Support Services moderates.
