New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NJSPCA)

The New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (colloquially, "NJSPCA Humane Police") was a law enforcement agency in the state of New Jersey that focuses on humane law enforcement. The agency enforces animal related laws, and investigates cases of animal cruelty. In January of 2018, Governor Chris Christie signed a bill intended to dissolve the organization and transfer animal cruelty law enforcement to county prosecutors, municipalities, and county SPCA agencies. The NJSPCA will cease law enforcement operations by August 1, 2018. Post August 1, 2018 the NJSPCA will look for other ways to work for the welfare and humane treatment of animals.
