Have a Neighborhood Question About…
Traffic Violations
The
Traffic Enforcement Office receives hundreds of
traffic complaints each year, and as a result of the
high volume of complaints we receive from citizens
regarding issues in their neighborhoods, we conduct
focused enforcement in certain neighborhoods. We
frequently rotate our enforcement to other areas.
We
encourage you and your neighbors to submit your
request for enforcement to your Community Liaison
Representative for your area.
Animal
Control and Shelter Information
When the
animal's owner cannot be located, the Animal Control
deputies who are trained to handle these situations
involving domestic animals will remove any stray
domestic animals that are unleashed in or near
roadways.
This unit
will transport injured domestic animals to the
emergency veterinarian for treatment and conduct the
necessary investigations relating to neglected or
abused animals.
We
encourage you and your neighbors to submit your
request for enforcement to your Community Liaison
Representative for your area.

Senior
/ Elder Abuse
Most
cases of elder abuse goes undetected. Elder abuse
refers to intentional or neglectful acts by a
caregiver or “trusted” individual that lead to, or
may lead to, harm of a vulnerable person. Physical
Abuse; Neglect; Emotional or Psychological Abuse;
Verbal Abuse and Threats; Financial Abuse and
Exploitation; Sexual Abuse and Abandonment are all
considered forms of elder abuse.
If you
suspect an elderly person being neglected or abused
report it immediately to your local law enforcement
agency.
Don’t
assume that someone has already reported the
suspicious situation. You may also visit
www.ncea.aoa.gov
or call Eldercare Locator at 1-800-677-1116 for more
information on elder abuse or neglect.
