• Answer:

  Becoming an "animal cop" or humane law enforcement officer can be very competitive. Some police departments have certain officers assigned to handle the majority of animal complaints in their jurisdiction. Some places have animal control officers that perform duties similar to humane law enforcement officers. You could also become an investigator for a humane society. You could become a dog warden. You might be interested in positions such as park ranger, game warden, or wildlife conservation officer. If you want to become a law enforcement officer, you should consider getting a college degree if you don't have one. Some majors you might want to consider include animal science, biology, communications, law, and psychology. Whatever major you choose, get the highest grade point average that you can, and do whatever else you can to make yourself the best candidate that you can.
