Did you know Mass Animal Fund also provides the free mandatory training for municipal animal control officers (ACOs)?
Since 2016, the Fund has worked with our ACO training team to educate over 1,000 ACOs on MA animal laws, wildlife, officer safety, report writing, record keeping, animal behavior, safe capture, and emergency preparedness.
Pictured here is our 2026 training team: ACO Kelly Flynn, MAF Sheri Gustafson, and ACO Manny Maciel.
Thank you, ARL Boston at Dedham, and Palmer Police Department for hosting us this year!
These trainings are made possible by Line 33f donations and state support!
