Let the Humane Society train animal control officers
including this one this morning. -jsq

In reading over the Lowndes Co. Animal Ordinance, it appears to give
all authority to law enforcement and/or an Animal Services Officer –
for enforcing the provisions of the Animal article. The only thing I can
see that the Animal Services Officer isn’t legally authorized to do is
to arrest an individual. – IF I’m reading/interpreting correctly.

This is one of the few ordinances actually linked from the Lowndes County
web pages, so you can read it for yourself.
