When are Police Officers expected to respond to animal or game related events?

Public safety and timely handling of animal or game events are the guiding priorities. If the Animal Services Officer will take too long to respond, police step in to prevent harm by securing the scene and reducing risk to people and property until the ASO can take over. If there is an immediate threat to the public, officers must respond right away to remove the danger, even if other units are not yet available. Options suggesting response only during business hours or never don’t account for after-hours incidents or the police role in safeguarding the public. The situation described—ASO having an extended response time and/or an immediate threat to the public—best fits when police are expected to respond.
