Findings and Recommendations 1 findings
F2
and Recommendation 2A. Comment: The City agrees. At the time, there was no provision for immediate dispatch of an animal control officer when one animal attacked another. The recommendation will not be implemented as stated. Instead, the City of Elk Grove has already implemented changes to its protocols so that an animal control officer is dispatched whenever a report is received of one animal killing another. A request from the reporting party is not solicited nor required. Staff, including staff at the 911 dispatch center, has been trained on this procedure. In addition, staff duty times have been expanded to provide better coverage in evenings and on weekends in order to respond to calls for service regarding animals.
