If you suspect Animal Cruelty, you must report it to your law enforcement agency of jurisdiction, not the Animal Cruelty Investigator. You may also report it to the humane society by completing a report that can be given to law enforcement and they will contact you.

If its important enough for you to call, then you should have no problem calling the law enforcement agency of Jurisdiction. The animals depend on you.

Just a reminder, I am receiving many complaints from municipalities that do not have a Dog or Animal Control Office. These complaints should be referred to you law enforcement agency of jurisdiction. They are first responders and will either take the approximate action or contact the Animal Cruelty Investigator for further action. Cruelty Investigators do not take the place of a Dog /Animal Control Offer. Thank you for your cooperation.
