The staff has taken training as stipulated in General Statutes 19 -A49, <br />Educational Requirements for County appointed animal cruelty investigators. The APS did not <br />request Board of Commissioners approval of the annual training as indicated in the General <br />Statutes. After more careful review of the General Statutes recently, the APS requests the Board of <br />Commissioners to approve the annual education requirements/ training retroactively. The APS <br />covers the cost of training. <br />RECOMMENDATION (S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve County appointed <br />animal cruelty investigator's annual education requirements /training retroactive to fiscal year 1994- <br />95. <br />
