MPD Officer works to end animal suffering with new training program

Marysville, WALocal News

The Marysville Police Department's new Animal Cruelty Investigation Training program aims to strengthen the enforcement of animal welfare laws. Launched in September, the initiative has trained over 460 officers from nearly 70 agencies, showcasing its widespread impact. Officer Dave Vasconi, a key figure in the program, expressed his commitment to rescuing animals and ensuring they receive proper medical care. The training also emphasizes accountability for those who harm animals, addressing a critical community issue. Pasado's Safe Haven collaborated with the police department to develop the curriculum, enhancing its effectiveness.

The program has resulted in more animals being rescued and offenders facing justice. Marysville’s Community Service Unit, which includes Officer Vasconi, responds to numerous animal cruelty complaints annually. Effective reporting and response to animal cruelty cases are essential; residents are urged to call 911 if they suspect such incidents.
