Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I never see a Dog Control Officer. Where do they patrol?

Answer:

Officers attempt to patrol every part of the borough every day.  However, this is not always practicable. Dealing with stray dogs, specific complaints/enquiries, and targeting badly fouled areas can take up a large part of the patrol duties.  Sometimes officers patrol in plain clothes in an unmarked vehicle and it is hoped that on these occasions, that you do not notice them.
