Trump tweet[edit]

Do we really need this here? Seems... superfluous. Data8504 (talk) 17:40, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Requested move[edit]

From dog catcher to animal control.

Support I believe the name "animal control" better describes the functions of these departments. EdwinHJ | Talk 21:21, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Support Yeah, that's probably true. I don't hink there's any such thing as a "cat catcher", for example. Elf | Talk 00:09, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. –Hajor 01:46, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

elective office[edit]

Is there any evidence that dog catcher has ever been an elective office anywhere? AJD 16:22, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Back when AJD first asked this question, I spent about an hour doing web searches trying to confirm that someone, somewhere, anywhere, ever elected dog catchers. Couldn't find anything on the web. It probably is just an ancient facetious way of looking at the lowest of low possible elected offices. Elf | Talk 00:09, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

I've removed the undocumented assertion that dogcatcher is or was an elective office. An overwhelming amount of Google hits show this as either a hired position, or an extra duty of sheriff's deputies. If someone comes with a cite to the contrary, well, they can put it right back in. Otherwise, it doesn't belong. 68.158.119.212 12:58, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, according to the municipal website of Duxbury, Vermont, it is an elected office. http://duxburyvermont.org/electedofficials.shtml 71.245.234.89 (talk)

The link provided is broken, and I can't find any other references on their site or elsewhere online. The last person claimed to hold the office was "Zeb Towne," who it appears really was (is?) an animal control officer in Duxbury, but there are no reliable sources referring to his election. Given the lack of evidence, I'm removing the claim that Duxbury elects its dogcatcher. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.124.162.98 (talk) 19:01, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

what country[edit]

I wish the writer would point out what country he is refering to, whith his mention of sherrif depts etc.

Why not preface such comments with..."in america.."

Dr doris (talk) 22:05, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Instead of "..in America.." it should be "..in the US..". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.126.5.170 (talk) 18:38, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Sworn versus Non-sworn Law Enforcement Officer[edit]

I know that in my city, our ACOs are non-sworn personnel, but they are issued badges, firearms, city vehicles, and other police equipment. They are also authorized to make arrests and apply for a search warrant from the Magistrate. Should we include at least a paragraph about the difference between jurisdictions? L.J. Tibbs (talk) 18:20, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Contextualise[edit]

This either needs to be identified as

A USA specific article and clarify this in the lead and body of text

or

find other contexts in other countries

Animal control can also be for animals other than dogs/canine - this needs to be clarified

As it stands and has stood for so many years - it is a generic title for a specific country, and the talk page is tagged for a specific animal... satusuro 14:53, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

dogcatcher issue[edit]

I am trying to find out why the dogcatcher is allowed to come on your property, even though i don't have a dog. The police department is saying that she is one of their employees and that she has a right to do that. She leaves notes saying that our car tires should have air in them at all times. She also has, in the past, sent us letters saying that we need to sell our vehicles because they were a nuicence to the city. If we don't then she says it will become a court issue. Is this legal? We are not in a homeowners association. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.40.224.18 (talk) 22:59, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
