For emergency service only dial 911. A patrol officer will be dispatched on a priority basis with the other calls for service. Please do not call after hours for routine matters as this detracts from the officers patrolling your neighborhoods and businesses for crime.

One part of Animal Control is arranging for adoptions of unclaimed animals. When an animal's owner does not come forward and cannot be located, the animal is cared for and evaluated to determine if it is eligible for adoption to a suitable home.
