🐾 CSO REMINDER 🦮
Our four Community Service Officers would like to remind everyone that a simple dog leash can make a big difference in keeping you and your dog safe! Over the last few weeks, our CSOs have received numerous complaints about dogs being off leash at city parks and throughout the community. The CSO team has responded to calls involving uncontrolled dogs running into traffic, as well as dogs biting animals and people.
Public safety is a shared responsibility, and we appreciate everyone who helps be part of the solution. Please keep your dogs leashed because it is safer and required under Yakima Municipal Code 6.20.130. ecode360.com/50555049 and Yakima Municipal Code 13.16.110 ecode360.com/50573322
Over the next few months, our CSO team will be out at our wonderful city parks educating the public and enforcing our leash requirements.
Thank you for helping keep our parks safe and enjoyable for everyone, including our tail wagging friends.
PATROL DIVISION - DID YOU KNOW? - PET LICENSING
While most people will only see a black and white Yakima police car driving around the community, even fewer get the opportunity to see some of the more unique things that occur in the Patrol Division. In this series of short videos, the patrol command team will inform the community on a few of the inner workings that occur everyday in Patrol. We hope you enjoy!

Just another way of the city getting into your wallet. I worked for a vet years ago, so these are the things that help get your dog back. 1) The rabies tag your dog has on him/her. I had gotten calls from people who found dogs and I would have the name and number and call the owners. The owners would get the number of the person that found the dog. 2) Chips. Dogs who get spayed or neutered automatically get chipped now. Don't tell me someone may not have access. B.S. You can take them to any vet, and they will scan the dog for free or the shelter or a rescue. I am sure someone that person knows can drive them to any of them if they do not drive. 3) You can also buy tags with your name and number on it. I know of dogs that have all 3 on their collar. Their rabies tag, their microchip number and the person ID tag. If someone wants to steal your dog, all they have to do is remove those tags and LOL even the tag this officer is talking about and of course not having the dog scanned and just keep it. So, sorry officer, but this is B.S. Unless you are willing to search every area of Yakima looking that said dog and go to every home in Yakima searching for that person's dog. If not, then what you are talking about is useless and B.S.
Great idea! Thank you for your service to our community!🇺🇲
Thank you for all that you do1
Did you know that a license is essentially permission to do something otherwise deemed illegal? How much money are you demanding for this “service”, and how much is the fine for noncompliance?

A license for a dog!? City desperate for money or what? Hopefully just within city limits
Please be so serious. Yakima is one of the highest rate of abandoned animals. If people aren’t able to afford to house and feed the animals why do you think that the people who do have animals are going to be able to afford yet another cost. Like if having an animal isn’t expensive enough.
😂how much is yakima is charging for this BS
My dog is chipped
Thank goodness you figured out a way to get the pets under control and kept safe. Now we just have to figure out a way to keep the citizens safe from Democrat Senator Sharon Shewmake. She thought it was okay to interfere with a state police misconduct investigation to taint the water and tip the scales to get the cops off. While doing that, she made disparaging and slanderous remarks about the death threat victims who made the complaints while she even outed their anonymous names. These were court protected individuals. Not one person from the party has taken a stand against this. Disgusting abuse of power. Citizens deserve better than this, Washington. Resign Shewmake. Shame on the CJTC for allowing the defaming letter to make it to the investigative file. #FriendsHelpingFriends #IscratchYourBack #Disgusting #YouForgotOneThing #VictimsWillSpeakOut

Does PD need a box of leashes to hand out? I have a bunch you all can have. You know.. protect and serve.
What do the CSOs do if they encounter an off leash dog running in neighborhoods? I’ve seen a few in various neighborhoods and I’ve always been curious if the owners are provided with education or if there are other measures taken. I’d love to hear more, and if Facebook isn’t the place (although that would be a great post) could we have a “town hall” of sorts for the general public to attend and ask questions?
While you are at it, remember to get your dog properly licensed. www.yakimawa.gov/media/points-of-interest/dog-licenses-online/
Poor dog i seen 1 like that walking around lost wish I had my own place to take a dog in
I hope you are checking the Greenway also.
Let’s just make sure they’re not accusing dogs of crimes that have zero evidence. 👌🏼
Im so grateful for leash laws being enforced!! I have had clients break down crying because they have had a bad experience and responsibly choose parks with leash laws to ensure their dogs safety only to show up to off leash dogs. 😭
Over the next few months? So .. during the winter months? Wouldn't it have made more sense to do that during the summer months?
Thank you! There are dogs off leash every time I go to Kissel Park.
Loose dogs will NOT be tolerated!
How about all that white trash on the side of the fucking road everywhere asking for money with dogs. That should be illegal if you're fucking white trash and can't afford to feed your dog you shouldn't have one take up from those piece of shit motherfuckers
