A former Abington police officer, Joshua Heal, who allegedly had a sexual relationship with Sandra Birchmore, may soon be decertified by a state watchdog group, according to Abington Police Chief John Bonney. Chief Bonney, a recent addition to the department from Stoughton, confirmed he has recommended Heal's decertification to the Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Commission. Heal, who served as a school resource officer, came under scrutiny in connection with Birchmore's death after an internal investigation revealed disturbing details. Birchmore was found dead in her Canton apartment in 2021. Initially deemed a suicide, her death is now believed to be a homicide orchestrated by former Stoughton officer Matthew Farwell, who allegedly maintained a sexual relationship with her since she was 15. According to a federal indictment, Farwell is accused of staging her death to resemble a suicide. Three former Stoughton officers, including Farwell, have been named as defendants in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Birchmore's estate. The lawsuit alleges that Farwell, his twin brother William, and former officer Robert Devine groomed Birchmore after she joined a youth explorers program at age 13. Although Heal was also named as a defendant in this suit in 2023, charges against him were dismissed in 2024. Heal's attorney, Pete Farrell, clarified Heal's position in the ongoing federal investigation, asserting that Heal is cooperating fully as a material witness. “Allegations are allegations, and it is speculative at best to suggest that Mr. Heal may be decertified,” Farrell said in a statement to Boston.com. He added, “The Court made specific factual findings. Those findings speak for themselves and are a part of the Court record. These facts reveal Mr. Heal and Ms. Birchmore were friends and met while both were adults.” Court documents reveal that Heal met Birchmore in 2016 when she was an adult, adopting a cat from the shelter where Heal worked as an animal control officer. According to the records, “Defendant Heal admitted he received oral sex from Ms. Birchmore on at least one known occasion.” Heal also reportedly described their relationship as close friendship in conversations with investigators. Although court findings indicate that Heal and Birchmore did not know each other during her youth, her estate argues that Heal exploited his position, exerting influence over a “vulnerable young adult.” Furthermore, the complaint alleges that Heal had detailed knowledge of Birchmore's prior abuse and that he was aware Farwell tracked her phone activity. The lawsuit claims, “Heal owed Ms. Birchmore a duty to protect her from abusive and grooming behaviors exhibited by M. Farwell, W. Farwell, and Devine, and to refrain from exploiting his status as the Animal Control Officer to obtain sexual contact with Ms. Birchmore.” According to the POST Commission, Heal resigned from his position with the Abington Police Department “in lieu of discipline” and currently holds certification as an unassociated officer, which is set to expire on July 1, 2025. While Heal's future as a certified officer remains uncertain, POST has already taken action against other former Stoughton officers connected to the case. William Farwell, Matthew's twin, was decertified last month, and Robert Devine is listed as “not certified” by POST due to his alleged involvement in inappropriate relations with Birchmore. As the investigation continues, Heal's decertification status will be determined by POST, potentially marking another step in the efforts to address the troubling circumstances surrounding Birchmore's death. #SandraBirchmore #PoliceMisconduct #AbingtonPolice #StoughtonInvestigation #POSTCommission #JoshuaHeal #Justice Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Daniel also gives wise advice to people who are interested in becoming an Animal Protection Officer, along with resources you can use to educate yourself and spread awareness about animal cruelty. “I also love the engagement of the community. This is a small, kind of niche community where we share things a lot with each other and there's not many like us, so we all bond and that's a nice perk of the job.” - Daniel Ettinger Tune in to hear Daniel bust the misconceptions about animal control and to learn his candid thoughts on the history and future of animal protection services.

What happens when you step into the Cultureverse? In this episode of our cultural adventure series, Ahuli learns to listen to his animal relative: Gitli in this homage to the Cherokee myth of The Deluge. This story is inspired by the Cherokee myth called  “The Deluge”. In the story, a long time ago a man had a dog, which began to go down to the river every day and look at the water and howl. The dog warned of a flood that would soon cover the entire world. The dog convinced the man to build a raft and the man's family (and the dog) remained safe in the raft as the water rose. It rained for a long time, and the water covered the mountaintops. When the rain stopped, the man climbed to the top of a mountain and saw that everything was still and they were the few that survived. This podcast was produced by Studio Ochenta for TRAX on PRX. Ahuli was voiced by Calvin Joyal. Ama was voiced by Lorna Bowen. Andre was voiced by Kevin Thelwell. Sandy Poplore, the Newscaster, is Cherie B. Tay. The Animal Control Officer was voiced by Bryan Green. Special thanks to our Cultureverse editorial team for this episode: Joseph Pierce, Melanie McKay-Cody and Jack Cooper who brought their experiences as Cherokee people to this story. Transcripts and additional resources to learn more about Cherokee folklore are available at ochentastudio.com

"Completely humiliated and defeated:" that's how Leslie Badger describes reading aloud in her first grade classroom. It's the first time Hingham's Animal Control Officer shares publicly the story of her learning disablity and how a parakeet named Charlie changed the course of her life. "Animals don't judge," she says. It's a great conversation on her path to become an ACO (she was on course to work on the water!), the wacky wild stories of the animals of Hingham (do not mention spiders) and the terrifying call that threatened to end her career.

My next podcast is going to be another good one. I have ACO Mike Wilster from Surprise Police Dept. on with me to talk about A Day in the Life of an Animal Control Officer. I thought that it would be good for everyone to understand just what it is that animal control officers do on a day to day basis. So Mike is going to talk with me and discuss all of this.

The Kewanee City Council met on Monday night with a relatively short agenda. The first item on the agenda was welcoming new Kewanee City Council member Tyrone Baker and swearing in Mr Baker and the newly re-elected Councilman Steve Faber for their Council terms. After discussing the newest member of the City Council, the Mayor discussed the agenda items from Monday night including discussions regarding the annexation of a piece of property into Kewanee, potential changes to the Kewanee Noise and Nuisance laws, loose dogs and the need for an Animal Control Officer and a public hearing regarding potential changes to Kewanee's existing TIF District.

This week I talk with my local animal control officer, Anthony. He works with the shelter I volunteer at. Though this episode may be a "preaching to the choir" episode, I hope it touches someone who needed it. If we truly want to help these animals, we need to work with our local, state, and federal representatives to ensure that proper legislation is enacted to protect these animals. One shocking fact I learned after we stopped recording: Colbert County Animal Control is responsible for an area of approximately 600 square miles with ONE animal control officer. You can find this episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and more!

In this episode, we sit down with Polly McKillop, from AID of MDARD, Becky Neal, MAACO President, and Michelle Reid, Animal Control Officer.

This week, we talk to New Canaan Police DepartmentAnimal Control Officer Allyson Halm, about the wildlife that town residents can expect to see now that spring is underway.  

This episode's interview was SO interesting that we only got through half of our questions in an hour. That means that we (Gremi - Grace and Emi - your hosts) will definitely have Officer Tursi back again to continue all of our prying, numerous, sometimes off-topic questions! Animal Control Officers are so busy, and we are very grateful that he took the time to meet with us and share information about his job, laws and regulations, and what it takes to become an Animal Control Officer. We are sure you'll find this just as interesting as we did! While we all know the "dog catcher" from childhood movies, you probably didn't know what an Animal Control Officer's day-to-day job looks like. If you have any questions for Officer Tursi or for us, please email them to emig@hhhstopeka.org or gracec@hhhstopeka.org. Thanks for listening!

Kewanee Mayor Gary Moore joined WKEI on Tuned In to discuss Monday's Kewanee City Council. On the whole, it was a relatively quiet meeting with agreements across the agenda. One big item was the discussion of potential new animal ordinances targeting repeat offenders who allow dogs to run at large. Mayor Moore himself floated the idea of being able to hire a part time Animal Control Officer for the City of Kewanee at no extra cost to the City. The Mayor did not lay out the proposal in total, he's still researching, but stated it's a possibility that he's looking into. Inevitably, talk turns to the issues the City of Kewanee has surrounding a pair of former City employees and while the Mayor cannot comment directly regarding City personnel issues, the Mayor did tell WKEI that he feels the City has been transparent as to what transpired and how it was handled.

She certified as a Master Groomer with NDGAA in 1990 and as a Certified Pet Dog Trainer in 2007 and continues to enjoy the pet industry by writing for Pet Business Magazine on both retail and grooming.

  Pam Anders first experience with desert was after a drive from Oregon. Pam's first husband suffered with asthma and his mother, who was living in Twentynine Palms suggested they move down to improve his health. Arriving in the dark, they were a bit off course. With no signs or lights, they pulled to the side of the road and Pam got out of the Volkswagen to take a look around. She looked up and almost fell... the star-filled sky was like nothing she'd ever experienced. And the silence was nothing like she'd ever heard.   After a few years they went back to Oregon. In this episode, Pam says the pull of the desert was so strong, she had to return, this time on her own, taking a number of jobs simultaneously to support herself. She worked at the bank (now Edchada's Mexican restaurant), a grocery store, a florist and Del's Shoes. She met and became friends with many of the Twentynine 'old timers', one couple being the J.B. Carrol's. When Pam told them she was looking for a house to rent they said, "Why rent, when you can buy?"  Thinking it was not possible, the Carrol's sold Pam her first home - they even held the note.   In 1976, Pam became San Bernardino County's first female Animal Control Officer, selected as one to fill eight openings with 145 applicants - most of whom were men. Pam says she believes in claiming your desires and the power of visualizing you already have what you want. At the age of 26, she was trained, provided a four-wheel drive truck, a shotgun and a come-a-long and was on-call twenty-four hours a day. Pam shares some humorous and touching stories from her time in that role.   These days Pam doesn't live in Twentynine Palms, but maintains a cabin there where she spends hours and days at a time creating art and treating herself well. With her long-time interest in antiques, you may find her at Pioneer Crossing in Yucca Valley, tending to store displays and guiding out of town visitors to sites in the area they should not miss.   Pam is excited to share a book she is currently reading: "The White Heart of the Mojave" by Edna Brush Perkins who, along with her friend Charlotte Hannahs Jordan, hired a guide to take them from their homes in Pasadena on an adventure through Death Valley.     Pam's Links:   https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1198489.The_White_Heart_of_Mojave   http://pioneercrossingantiques.com/

Animal Control Officer Sherry DeGenova with Cold Weather Safety Tips for Pets

This week on the Northeast Newscast, Managing Editor Paul Thompson goes on a ride-along with KCMO Animal Control officer Chris Harriman. It bears mentioning that what many in Kansas City refer to as Animal Control is actually the Animal Health and Public Safety department. Chris Harriman is technically an Animal Health and Public Safety officer, but even he will refer to himself as Animal Control for the sake of brevity and the understanding of the general public. At any rate, Harriman allows Thompson to join up for several hours as he answers service requests in the Historic Northeast community. The pair check in on a duplex that is allegedly home to 26 cats; checks in on a block full of stray dogs, and even chase a rabbit around until its owner mercifully arrives. To close the episode, Harriman offers some thoughts on the Animal Health and Public Safety audit that was recently completed by the KCMO Auditor's Office.

In today's episode, Animal Control Officer Josh Klumpe talks about trap, neuter, and release program for feral cats, common questions about stray animals, and his experience trapping an alligator on the Wabash River.

Susan Daffron talks to Melissa Lee Prescott from Daisy's Animal Rescue League in Massachusetts about a three-year old spayed female pit bull mix named Lucy. This sweet girl was named after Lucille Ball because of her red hair. Right now, she's underweight, but she's a healthy fun-loving active dog who loves to play. Lucy was dumped on the streets in Marlboro, Massachusetts but was picked up by Peter Nikitas the Animal Control Officer in Marlboro. He kept her, fed her and got her back on her feet. Peter called Melissa asking if she could help find Lucy a new home. Of course, Melissa said yes and Lucy is staying with her as a foster dog. Lucy already knows basic commands and is always eager to learn and please. She loves to go for walks and car rides and is good with other dogs and children. Lucy would be a great family dog. She greets everyone with a wiggly wag and big smile. Melissa is hoping that Lucy can find her forever home, so she can take in more foster dogs who need help. As an incentive, Lucy's adoption fee is being completely waived. More details on this episode MP3 Podcast - Lucy - This Red-Haired Beauty Loves Everyone on PetLifeRadio.com

Back in the swing of things. Now that all has settled from our Holiday week and most of us are bacjk to work, I was able to catch up with Shirley Zindler. A guest blogger for TheBark.com as well as an Animal Control Officer in Sonoma County, CA. Over the last several months I've shared with you several of Shirley's post's and was thrilled when she agreed to come on the program. In speaking with her, I came to understand the HUGE responsibility that these officers have in their communities. Imagine being the person who is the first into a crime scene (with the police following her), where an aggressive dog has been shot, and the police don't know if there are any armed gunman left in the building... I will never look at animal control officers without thinking about the danger they put themselves in while trying to make a difference.This weeks blogs...
