The Animal Protection Section is comprised of one supervisor, and five full-time animal protection officers who investigate and respond to vicious or stray animals, nuisance complaints, injured or ill animals, reports of cruelty or neglect, as well as other animal-related issues. Officers promote responsible pet guardianship through education, mediation, and enforcement.
