🐾 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. https://ecode360.com/50555049 and Yakima Municipal Code 13.16.110 https://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.
