To the residents of the City of Warren and surrounding communities:
Please remember that when you are having food, packages, groceries, or any other deliveries brought to your home, keep your dogs secured inside the house until the delivery driver has safely returned to their vehicle and left the property.
Here in Warren, we have been responding to several dog bite calls each day involving the same situation: the homeowner opens the door to receive a delivery, the dog gets past the owner, and the delivery driver is bitten or attacked.
For everyone’s safety, please:
Keep dogs restrained and secured before opening the door
Use leashes, gates, crates, or separate rooms when expecting deliveries
Make sure your pets are properly licensed
Keep vaccinations and shots up to date
Dog bite incidents can result in citations and additional penalties. More importantly, they can cause serious injuries to delivery drivers and others working in our neighborhoods every day.
Thank you for helping keep our community safe.
