NJCACOA Certification Information

Since 1983 New Jersey Animal Control Officers have requested from the State organized and structured training. In fact it was insisted that this training be offered in NJ approved universities and police academies.

The basic Animal Control Officer certification course is offered throughout the year by Career Development Institute, (CDI). Some colleges offer this course during either their Fall or Spring semesters. This course is required to be a minimum of 45 hours and once completed, it is equivalent to 3-college credits. This course is usually given one day a week for 15 weeks.

Career Development Institute (CDI) is the only state-approved institution that offers the Animal Cruelty Investigator NJ certification course.
