  • Represent HSPPR and contracted jurisdictions with professionalism and compassion
  • Apply critical thinking and sound judgment in high-pressure situations
  • Support shelter operations, including animal intake and care procedures
  • Promote responsible pet ownership through education and conflict resolution
Training & Growth
  • 12-week academy followed by structured field training
  • Ongoing feedback and coaching from experienced officers
  • Opportunity for promotion to Animal Law Enforcement Officer I upon successful completion

To advance, recruits must:
  • Pass the final academy exam (minimum score of 80%)

What You Bring
  • A strong commitment to animal welfare and community service
  • Ability to remain calm, professional, and decisive under stress
  • Excellent communication and report-writing skills

    • Extensive background investigation
    • Drug screening
    • Physical fitness test
    • Hearing and vision exams
  • Eligible for commission through the Colorado Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Animal Protection, and local law enforcement
  • Must be eligible for base clearance on Ft. Carson
Work Environment & Schedule
This is an active, field-based role requiring:
  • Work in all weather conditions and environments
  • Handling animals with unpredictable behavior
  • Lifting up to 75 lbs and extended periods of standing, walking, or running
  • Use of specialized enforcement and animal handling equipment
  • Availability for weekends, nights, holidays, and on-call shifts
Why Join HSPPR?
