DescriptionA Special Agent badge for the Connecticut Humane Society. The badge is round with an eagle at the top. In the center is a relief image of people and a horse.
NotesHistorical Note: Connecticut state law gives the Connecticut Humane Society power to stop and prevent animal cruelty. The Public Safety Commissioner may appoint special agents of the Humane Society as special police officers. Today, the Connecticut Humane Society no longer has special agents, and animal control officers have responsibility for investigating animal cruelty situations.Status
