The Fire Marshal's office was originally a position with the League City Volunteer Fire Department. Fire Marshal was hired. In 1988, the city hired its first full time Fire Marshal and finally in December 1996, the first full time Fire Inspector was brought on board. Our primary message to the public is fire prevention rather than suppression and recovery. The League City Animal Control Department is responsible for the enforcement of federal, state, and municipal laws for animal control.
All officers also provide education to the public to ensure humane treatment for all animals.
The Adoption Center has five paid staff, including a superintendent, as well as ten volunteers. All public safety offices provide the public with educational material and training. The City lies primarily within Galveston County, which is located on the upper Texas coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The County comprises a land area of 430 square miles, including Galveston Island. With the exception of the County Commissioners, Justices of the Peace and Constables, all other elected county officials are at large.
