Investigate reports of animal attacks or animal cruelty, interviewing witnesses, collecting evidence, and writing reports. Issue warnings or citations in connection with animal-related offenses, or contact police to report violations and request arrests. Organize the adoption of unclaimed animals. Prepare for prosecutions related to animal treatment, and give evidence in court. Remove captured animals from animal-control service vehicles and place animals in shelter cages or other enclosures.
