I am not. I do however have an sincere answer for you.
In my state an animal cop is called an animal control officer. They do lots of things like collect stray animals but they also investigate complaints of animal cruelty. They have limited police powers. They can write tickets and court summons. They can remove animals from people and situations that is not in the animal's best interest. If someone is going to be arrested however the animal control officer has to have a merit police officer there to take custody of the person.
Best of luck.

I think that "animal cop" is just the term the Animal Planet network uses to refer to people who work for the Humane Society. A good way to get started with them would be to spend some time volunteering with them... they always need volunteers. From there, you can find out what qualifications are needed to become a paid employee with the Humane Society. They may even be able to advise you on how to become an "animal cop" like the ones on Animal Planet.

Hello, i am an animal cop in the suburbs of Chicago.
The job is fun in the begining and everyone will tell you it is a fun, fufilling career...but in fact ...
Recently i was attacked by a alligator that had rabies. I was bit..and i dont have an arm now. It was amputated so the rabies wouldn't spread.
Before that, when visiting another town..a cow was very sick. It was vicous to say the least. My left arm was bit off by its razor sharp teeth. The farmer who owned him, sharpened the cows teeth every night so it could fend off cyotes. The cow thought i was a cyote, in my black uniform, so he bit me.
I was called on a special operation on Lake Eerie when a shark w. fleas bit both my legs off.
I am now a limb-less, use-less, mess of rib-bones and skin...i quit before an animal could take my face too.
DONT TAKE THE JOB..DONT ATTEMPT
but if you do..get good insurance!
