FY2022

Strategic Plan Goal:

Strengthen Community Engagement and Intergovernmental Relations, Foster Healthy Neighborhoods and Affordable Housing

Increase the efficiency in which lost pets and owners are reunited.

Department Goal:

Increase the number of pets that are licensed and/or implanted with a microchip. Pets with microchips and/or licensed are more easily identified and returned to their owners. This decreased time reduces the stress on both the pet and owner. This also increases the amount of time that officers can spend patrolling and addressing nuisance animals, which can affect the quality of life in a neighborhood. Outsourcing licensing will be evaluated, as other jurisdictions have found that privatization has increased community participation.
