Step 1
In order to become an ASPCA officer, you will need to reside in the State of New York.

You'll want to make sure you love animals and have the necessary skills and education to become an ASPCA officer, which include a high-school graduate (preferably more), ability to work in a team, & a passion for law enforcement.
