Dog Control Division

The Syracuse Police's team of Dog Control Officers handles nuisances and complaints regarding dogs in the City of Syracuse. These complaints range from barking dogs to unleashed dogs, unlicensed dogs, aggressive/attacking dogs and stray dogs. 

The Syracuse Police Dog Control Officers work with B & R Bunkhouse Adoptables dog shelter operated by Barks & Rec. The dogs at the shelter are all unclaimed strays or victims of cruelty and neglect. The shelter workers and volunteers help to ensure that dogs in the shelter are cared for as they wait for a loving home.
