| VERMONT ANIMAL CONTROL ASSOCIATION |

|
History:
The Vermont Animal Control Association (VACA) was established in 2004. VACA's efforts were created and maintained on a non-profit and volunteer basis by Animal Control Officer's in Vermont. Our tradition carrys on to date. |
Purpose:
One of VACA's many growing efforts is to offer support to member's and their towns or cities in Vermont in a networking system through active and immediate communication and physical support. Our members feel that if we are able to network with other members in adjoining towns or cities we can be more effective in our positions assisting our communities, their citizens and the animals within them, particularly in times of emergencies or need of mutual aid.
Education is equally important, VACA strives to keep it's members informed on respective training or certifications classes in the field of Animal Care, Control and Community Safety. Whenever possible VACA will host training events or network with other Law Enforcement agencies to co-sponsor these events. Our goal is to keep training low-cost and in some cases free to our members as we understand the budgetary restrictions our towns and cities are facing at these times. Our members believe that with current education and training we will be able to provide the highest standard in animal related services to maintain the premium quality of life that Vermont has to offer.
VACA also will assist our members in obtaining low cost pre-exposure vaccines, to ensure the safety of it's members and enable the towns and cities they serve piece of mind for safety of their employees. VACA supports, informs and assists members on issues such as local Ordinance development, State legislative issues and laws and Emergency Disaster Planning, to name just a few. |
Members:
VACA membership is open to any Vermont Animal Control Officer, Constable, Police Officer, Sheriff, Deputy Sheriff or municipally employed employee, who is tasked with the enforcement of animal related laws in a Vermont town or city.
