BOARD OF SUPERVISORS INFORMATION ITEM

SUBJECT: SIGNIFICANT INCIDENT REPORT/Q4 FY2016/Sheriff’s Office

STAFF CONTACTS: Sheriff Michael L. Chapman Lt. Colonel Robert Buckman, Chief Deputy

BACKGROUND: The Sher iff’s Office compiles a var iety of repor ts to ensure information dissemination to senior staff and affected personnel of significant incidents, crime analysis and traffic issues. Because many of these reports contain sensitive and confidential information, they are not released outside of the department. Additionally, State law governs the dissemination of records, criminal history and other law enforcement information and provides penalties for improper release. To inform the public, a brief activity summary that complies with applicable law is prepared daily by the Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer and disseminated to the media, the Board of Supervisors and other interested parties.

The statistics that are summarized in the Sheriff’s Significant Incident Report and submitted to the Board of Supervisors on a quarterly basis are Significant Incidents, Continuing Trends, Part 1 Crimes, Part 2 Crimes, Warrant Arrests, Traffic Statistics, Loudoun County Corrections and Courts Statistics. *Crime statistics are based on reports submitted to CAD as of July 5, 2016.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS BUSINESS MEETING

INFORMATION ITEM SUBJECT: SIGNIFICANT INCIDENT REPORT/Q4 FY2016/ Department of

Animal Services STAFF CONTACT: Nina Stively, Director, Department of Animal Services Mark Stacks, Chief, Department of Animal Services Amy Martin, Shelter Operations Manager, Department of Animal

Services BACKGROUND: Attached is a significant incident summary report for the Department of Animal Services (LCAS). This report provides the Board of Supervisors with comparative statistics and information for the fourth quarter of FY2016 (April 2016 through June 2016). The information includes departmental programs and services, including: animal control activities, animal sheltering data, adopter survey information and volunteer activities. Additionally, information regarding key activities and/or incidents that occurred during the fourth quarter of FY2016 is provided in the paragraphs below.

Overview

Overall, calls requiring an officer response were up 9% when compared to the 4th quarter of FY2015. The LCAS communications center received 6,151 phone calls, a slight decrease when compared to the 4th quarter of FY2015. Below are significant cases that were investigated by LCAS officers:

An officer investigated a case of animal cruelty involving chickens being sacrificed in an inhumane manner. A search warrant was executed at a home in Sterling, resulting in one live chicken being seized along with multiple pieces of evidence. The live chicken was awarded to LCAS during a seizure hearing in Loudoun County General District Court, that decision has been appealed, by the owner and is awaiting a new hearing in Circuit Court. The owner of the chickens has been charged with misdemeanor animal cruelty with a trial date set in August 2016.

A local veterinary hospital notified LCAS after treating a dog that had suffered a traumatic injury. The dog was humanely euthanized due to the extensive nature of its injuries. During the course of the investigation it was learned that the co-owner of the dog had picked it up and slammed it on the ground causing the injuries. The co-owner has been charged with felony animal cruelty, with a trial set for July 2016.

An officer investigated a ball python that was abandoned at a Petsmart store in Sterling. The owner was charged with abandonment and found guilty.

An officer responded to a complaint of a cat being cruelly treated on the balcony of an apartment in Leesburg. The investigation led to the cat being seized and it was determined that the cat had a broken femur. A seizure hearing has been set for July 2016. The matter is still under investigation, animal cruelty charges are pending.

A3:2

Officers initiated a cruelty investigation after receiving notification from a veterinary hospital that an owner had failed to provide emergency medical treatment for a dog. After being unable to make contact with the owner a search warrant was obtained and executed at a home in Ashburn. Contact was made with the owner and the dog was located. The dog is currently being treated by a veterinarian. This matter is still under investigation.

LCAS Programs and Events LCAS hosted a department wide compassion fatigue workshop for staff. Compassion Fatigue is emotional exhaustion, caused by the stress of caring for traumatized or suffering animals or people. Officers participated in several humane education presentations at Arcola Elementary, Discovery Elementary, Camp Real at Sugarland Elementary, McGruff Safety Camp at Countryside Elementary, Touch a Truck Event at Dominion High school and at the Dulles South Community Center and two presentations for students in the Monroe Technology program. Several officers received continuing education credits by attending an animal fighting training taught by the Virginia Animal Fighting Task Force. Staff from the Commonwealth Attorney’s office presented to officers on court room preparation and procedures.

This quarter LCAS saw a 28% increase in the number of pets received over Q4 of FY15. This increase in the number of pets necessitated creative marketing of shelter pet adoptions in addition to efforts to reduce the number of pets brought into the shelter. Promotions included a “Dog Days of Summer” and “U Can Haz Cheezeburger” adoption promotion which partnered with local business, MELT Gourmet Cheeseburgers to encourage adoption. LCAS also partnered with local businesses Loudoun Cat Care and Animal Medical Center of Cascades to promote microchip identification through “Operation Chip-A-Kitty.” The partnership promoted reduce cost microchipping for Loudoun County residents. Overall, the efforts were tremendously successful and led to an increase of over 46% in the live release rate for the Department (the percentage of animals which leave the shelter through adoption, transfer or reunion with owners vs euthanasia).
