A Tough Job Is Getting Tougher
Foreclosures have made the jobs of code and environmental enforcement more difficult for cities and counties across the state, and things don't promise to get any easier. The purpose of this class is to focus on special problems in code and environmental enforcement caused by increased home foreclosures. 

The instructional techniques will include (1) lectures, (2) analysis of common scenarios, and (3) participant discussion of techniques. 

This class has been approved for six continuing education hours for code enforcement officers and registered sanitarians by the Department of State Health Services, and carries six TCLEOSE hours for peace officers.
