Animal Control
The Kansas City, Kansas Animal Control is a Unit of the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department Community Support Services Division. This Unit provides a unique service to the citizens of the City, by combining activities of a law enforcement agency that protects people and their property with a humane organization that protects animals.
Irresponsible pet ownership and pet over-population are the main reasons that any animal control agency exists. Pets can provide significant benefits for families. When pets are not properly cared for, they can become not only a nuisance, but also a threat to the health and safety of the community.
