Protecting animals

In New Jersey, Humane Law Enforcement Officers (HLEOs) enforce the state’s animal cruelty and welfare laws, including Title 4. They have full law enforcement authority to issue summonses and make arrests, and they work closely with local police, animal control officers and shelters to rescue animals in distress and pursue criminal charges when necessary.

Their mission is to protect animals from cruelty while promoting responsible ownership and education about animal welfare.
