Essential Animal Services Training (EAST) Academy is intended for a wide variety of professionals, including animal cruelty investigators, animal control officers, veterinary professionals, animal welfare workers, members of animal rescue groups, and others who are responsible for the care and control of animals and the investigation of animal cruelty cases. The EAST Academy curriculum consists of three 40-hour modules, each providing instruction in all aspects of animal control and animal cruelty investigations.
