The town of Troy recently went to a three-tiered system of animal control officer who works with humane societies, constables who enforce town ordinances, and sheriff's deputies who are given the power to enforce both town and county ordinances.
The town of Hudson gave its constable - now called a town compliance officer - an assistant when the main one is away, broader duties to enforce all town ordinances that are not zoning matters, rather than just be a dog catcher.
The town of Hudson sees the conflict resolution as a big part of the compliance officer's job, and some of these may come from animal control issues that grow out of hand.
