Celebrating our Humane Enforcement Officers
April 14 – 20 is celebrated as Animal Control Officer (ACO) Appreciation Week. Our Humane Enforcement Officers in Carson City do so much to help out our community and go above and beyond to do their jobs. In 2023, our HEOs responded to 1,834 cases in Carson City!
We just wanted to take a moment to share a bit of what they do and show what a typical priority call would look like for them. Check out how our HEOs keep the community safe every day!
Our HEOs receive many different types of calls that help keep people & pets in the community safe including:
- Stray calls (as featured in the video above)!
- Animals that have been hit by a vehicle or other injured animals
- Animal bites or incidents
- Animal cruelty investigations
- Officer assists in supporting local law enforcement (incidents such as a pet injured in a car crash & overcrowding situations)
Thank you, HEOs, for all the hard work that you do every day! To learn more about our Carson City Shelter and services, visit the page.
