New Date! January 28 – 29, 2025

• Jan 28-29, 2025 | FREE
• Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office, Concord, North Carolina

This free hands-on workshop is open to law enforcement, prosecutors, veterinarians, and rescue and sheltering organizations and will focus on dogfighting investigations and response, empowering participants to have the tools to identify, investigate, respond to, and effectively prosecute, dogfighting cases in their communities.

Attendees will work through a dogfighting case from start to finish, learning and practicing key skills in investigation, seizure, evidence documentation, testimony, disposition, sheltering, care, and pathway planning. In addition to learning how best to navigate the complexities of dogfighting-related cases, attendees will also establish connections with local and other resources to help foster community collaboration and create awareness to identify and prevent dogfighting.

• Law enforcement, animal control officers, and prosecutors: This is a two-day training.
• Sheltering professionals, veterinarians, and other attendees: You may choose between attending both days (January 28 and 29) or just the second day (January 29), which includes role-specific breakout sessions. 

Continuing education (CE) credits will be available
Limited funds may be available to assist some attendees who live more than 75 miles from Concord with travel expenses.
