Animal Control employees professional, courteous but maskless
I recently made the following observations. All of the employees at Publix: masked; all of the employees at Home Depot: masked; all of the employees at Pep Boys: masked, all of the employees at Burger King: masked; masked; all of the employees of the Polk County Sheriff s Office Animal Control unit: not masked.
Ironically, the Sheriff s Office is the only one of these organizations to have the following in their Vision Statement: … we will continue to proactively … enhance the quality of life to ensure Polk County is a safe and attractive place to live, work, and visit.
