Animal Control | Glenwood Springs Police Department
The Code Enforcement Officer and Patrol Officers respond to calls for service involving animal control issues. The GSPD will respond to calls involving dogs running at large, vicious dogs, and barking dogs. Cats are free-roaming animals, and are not considered to ever be “running at large.”
During summer months, officers also routinely respond to and assist the Colorado Division of Wildlife with calls involving bears.
