The Animal Control Unit provides for the response, investigation, resolution, licensing, enforcement, and administrative requirements of animal complaints received by the Department. The Animal Control Unit is staffed by a full-time Animal Control Officer, under the supervision of a Unit Supervisor. The unit receives support from Patrol Division staff on weekends, holidays, and the Animal Control Officer's days off.
Bloomfield investigates approximately 600 animal complaints a year.
Animals that are impounded in Bloomfield are housed at the Bloomfield Kennel, which is located at the Simon Foundation. The Bloomfield Kennel is a leased space and not affiliated with The Simon Foundation; therefore please refer questions concerning Bloomfield Animal Control Matters to the Bloomfield Animal Control Officer and not the Simon Foundation.
