A Tribute to LAAS Animal Control Officers – ‘Unsung Heroes’ Then and Now
Details
ANIMAL WATCH-National Animal Control Officer Appreciation week was recognized and celebrated nationally from April 11–17, 2021, but was unnoticed or ignored at City of Los Angeles Animal Services by then-General Manager Brenda Barnette, until the afternoon of Thursday, April 15. 
That was when a succinct post appeared on the LAAS Facebook page with NO hashtags or correlating media release to spread the message: 
“It’s National Animal Care and Control Appreciation Week, and we want to say, Thank You to our amazing field staff, which includes Animal Control Officers and SMART team.  We appreciate all the hard work you do to care for and assist our LA Community. Keep up the Fantastic Work.”    ....
