Animal Control

Officer Stephen Burres has handled about 50 snakes during his tenure with the department

Police say the lemur has been connected with a local wildlife rescue agency where it will be “well cared for and loved”

“Kannapolis Police Department urges everyone to be careful when giving rides to strangers, especially the slithery kind," the department said

Court rules that the behavior of the dog, and the subject's failure to control the dog, could lead a reasonable officer to perceive the dog as an imminent threat

The dogs were confined to crates in the truck's separate cargo area; the driver pulled over after the dogs' barking alerted him to their distress

Video from the department shows the goats dispersed throughout the neighborhood, grazing on yards and walking in the street

The horse was found grazing on some grass; officer Nicholas Moreno got in the saddle and rode the horse back to its owner

The dog that killed Marion County Deputy Tamieka White and bit her son also attacked an Indianapolis officer before being fatally shot

You never know what you will be called to do

“OK folks we need some help captioning this one,” Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey wrote of a photo of Deputy Robert Santiago holding a rope tied to the gator

While police removed a 4-foot boa from an North Carolina home, Florida officers relocated a poisonous rattlesnake hiding on a resident’s property

The snake was able to escape its enclosure and into a suburban area

Snipers lined up to protect divers who were rescuing the occupants of a submerged car

In some situations, we have time to make a formal plan
