Press release July 2018 USA:

The Joint Counter terrorism Assessment Team, a collaboration between the National Counter terrorism Center, the Department of Homeland Security, and the FBI, issued the report this week, titled Animal Cruelty: A Possible Warning Behavior for Terrorism and Other Premeditated Violence against Humans Which Needs Reporting and Further Vetting. The report emphasizes that reporting, investigating and prosecuting acts of animal cruelty can help prevent acts of human violence, including terrorism.

International Association of Chiefs of Police

The IACP state in their February 2018 issue of The Police Chief Magazine:

“Police officers and detectives should be appropriately trained in the recognition and documentation of crimes against animals – and they should have sufficient resources to enforce animal cruelty laws”.

Animal care professionals, such as veterinarians, animal control  officers, and humane law enforcement all have roles to play in the  prevention, identification, and treatment of interpersonal violence.  The co-occurrence of child abuse and domestic violence with animal  abuse, and the significance of childhood animal abuse means that  animal welfare overlaps with both family welfare and public safety.
