The North Platte Animal Control Officers patrol the city streets and are responsible for enforcing all city ordinances pertaining to animal control. They handle vicious dogs, loose animals, return lost pets and dispose of animals that have been killed on city streets. They also provide traps (during suitable weather) to secure unwanted pests that hide beneath houses and in garages. In addition, they are sometimes called upon to transport lost and stolen bicycles, and to provide advice to our citizens that can prevent wildlife from becoming a nuisance.
