Animal control is an integral part of the police department's operation.
The activity and status of animals generate many complaints. Though citizens call concerning those complaints, almost all citizens insist that animals are treated humanely. The personnel of animal control are dedicated to serving the needs of the public while treating the animals with which they come in contact with the utmost care. Before animals are destroyed, great efforts are taken to find an adopted home for them.
