As Chiefs of Police, I
am sure that you appreciate the importance of providing an adequate
training budget for law enforcement professionals, including Animal
Control Officers. In this regard, I am emailing you today to make you
aware of the New England Animal Control/ Humane Academy (NEACHA), which
provides quality, cost-effective, in-depth training in areas related to
Animal Control Professionals in New England.
The NEACHA program was
developed to provide useful, timely, and quality education in an
atmosphere that allows the participant to share and renew information as
well as learn. There are countless opportunities for those attending to
discuss problems, learn from veterans, and develop professional
contacts. Many people feel that this is the feature that makes the
Academy so valuable.
The
Animal Control Profession is unique because it deals with not only the
many problems of animals but also that of humans in today’s complex
society. Some of the examples of topics which have been covered in the
past are: rabies, working with computers, animal/child abuse, health
issues (human and animal), public relations, investigations, and many
more. Nationally known instructors from around the country have
presented.
Through
an arrangement with the Applied Animal Science program at the Thompson
School of the University of New Hampshire, facilities, classrooms,
dining halls, dormitories, and transportation are made available at a
reasonable rate. With these resources, a large attendance can be
accommodated.
The next NEACHA
training will be at UNH July 18-22, 2011. As budget season is fast
approaching, please make provisions in your budget for this opportunity.
Also, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to
contact me at 382-3679. Thank you for your consideration.

about the upcoming training, please visit our web site:

England Animal Control/Humane Academy
Sincerely,
Sheila Johannesen
Director, NEACHA

My name is Joseph M. Doyle Sr., I am the Deputy Training
Coordinator for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Programs here
at New Mexico Tech. We offer a number of Programs funded completely by
DHS. This means of course the programs are completely paid for the
students that attend the courses.
Our two Resident Courses: 1. "Incident Response to Terrorist Bombings"
(IRTB) and 2."Prevention and Response to Suicide Bombings Incidents"
(PRSBI) are offered here in New Mexico. The funding for these courses
includes the airfare, hotel, per diem, the course and the rental car.
Literally everything is paid for but the students salary and/or
"backfill".
The IRTB course is 32 hours and is held in Socorro, New Mexico and the
PRSBI is 40 hours and is held in Playas, New Mexico. These are train the
trainer courses and we hope and expect the students to return to their
communities and share what they have learned. All instructional
materials (Participants Manuals, Pre & Post Test, Certificates) are
provided by New Mexico Tech at no charge.
We offer Performance level courses in IRTB and PRSBI which are four
hours long and we have an eight hour Performance level course "Initial
Law Enforcement Response to Suicide Bombing Attacks" (ILERSBA) . All are
taught by our Instructors at your location. What you are asked to
provide is 50 students per class and a location to hold the class.
Members of your Association can attend these NMT/DHS courses, and it's
free. You can go on line at
