CSO THANK YOU
Our Community Service Officers (CSOs) want to say thank you to all the responsible pet owners and animal rescue groups in our community! Public safety is a shared responsibility and we want to recognize those who help as part of the solution.

When yards are safe, animals are leashed, excessive barking is addressed, and pets are licensed and microchipped, you are helping prevent bites, reunite lost animals with their pet parents, and reduce the calls for additional resources. Your commitment makes a difference!

The Yakima Police Department is made up of a variety of units that are committed to public safety with the same goal. Each unit can focus on and investigate important issues in our city, and our Community Services Officers are specifically dedicated to animal-related issues.

Let’s also acknowledge that these positions were on the chopping block not long ago at the direction of the chief. Community members, not anyone else stepped up and advocated the council for a solution, and that advocacy made ALL the difference, and is why they are there today, and not out of a job. Public safety is a shared responsibility and so is protecting the services that support it.

You forgot spay and neuter!

IN TIME OUT:
Loose d

IN TIME OUT:
Loose dogs create unnecessary risk for children, drivers, and the animals themselves. Prevention starts before the call for service. This dog was picked up after chasing kids near Garfield Elementary. If you know where this dog lives or have any information to help us contact the owner, please call YPD Community Service Officers at 509-576-6038.

Well.....dogs are a lot better judge of character, so......

My dogs chase kids too but kids usually egg them on. Just because it’s a Pitt bull doesn’t mean he’s trying to eat them

Dogs are a reflection of their owners

He may have human kids at home trying to play or dumped and trying to get help or just being a dog. I hope he has owners he is cute.

Possibly my neighbors dog. I will check when I get home. I know one of their dogs for sure has been getting out the last couple of days. And we live a few blocks away from Garfield Elementary.

I remember walking down garfield to walk to school EVERYDAY i would get chased by the dogs thereπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ŽπŸΌπŸ‘ŽπŸΌ

I just can't believe the ignorance of people... blows me away! So sad that people don't take the time to look at a dog and just see the love of a dog... dogs are the single most loving, kind, innocent creatures in this planet, no matter what breed they are they just want to love you and be loved. They don't judge you and they are always happy to see you... you love a dog is going to be loving. You teach a dog hate it's going to be hateful. Idc if it's a poodle, chiwawawa or a pitbull I'm done goodnight. I pray for you little doggie. I hope you are loved 😍 πŸ₯° ❀️ and I pray for the hate to leave all your hearts and for your eyes to open and I challenge you all to go meet a pitbull. Go to the pound and volunteer to walk one and play with one. You will quickly change your mind.

I make free dog tags. Is this dog fixed? We can help with that + microchipping, as well.

Probably so lonely trying to connect with the children...but all dogs are different, and an agreed possible risk....

I checked with a dog owner I know in the area, not theirs.

Needs a farm to roam

Maybe playing. Jeez I live in the area and haven't seen but if I do I'll let my rescue friend know before u. Some dogs do that unless the dog bit someone

I’m sorry this happened. Hopefully the owner will do a better job of keeping track of their dog. Please teach your children to not run from a dog. It engages their play side, or it can engage their primal instinct to chase prey

Poor baby

Sad, the dog is beautiful..people have such a fear of pitbulls. My niece had one that was a gentle giant...afraid of noises,plastic bags and separation anxiety. The breed isn't dangerous..owners are. If they aren't socialized from early age it causes problems..same can be said for other breeds. Pitbulls are strong..but the main problem with any breed is the owners .

There kids who teases them and think it's funny then they cry Wolf when the dogs get tired of getting picked on and teased or getting rocks or whatever throwing at them provoking the animal to attack there are kids like that and that's the parent's fault for not teaching their kids any better so it's not all the dogs fault too

Thank you for getting him picked up. A bad experience with a dog can make a child scared for life.

Lock the kids up. Im sure there not innocent in this. I see them taunting dogs all the time walking home from school.

Sharing in pet groups.

Why is it a safety risk?

He looks sweet. He was probably trying to play.

Is there any more pictures of this Dog

The dog just probably was trying to get some attention since it's ridiculous

Is it a female??

Put it down!

Does ypd still have the gang unit? They need to be more proactive maybe bring back the marked squad cars to show presence

Where’s ice when we need them

Just today at noon we held a “moment of blessing” on the property where a 16 year old was murdered. I am overwhelmed with sadness at yet another violent crime by those so young. Please agree to pray that these senseless acts of violence come to an end in our beautiful community. From you Yakima… poverty flees, violence flees & injustice flees in Jesus name. ✝️

Prayers for the victim πŸ™. I can't imagine being an officer in this City. Prayers for all our officers πŸ™ ❀️ πŸ’™

These nortenos getting active πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­

I want to asked everyone to please pray for her instead of negative comments. We need all the prayers we can get please πŸ˜­πŸ’”

It’s very sad about all the shootings lately. We are loosing so many of our young people. I hope there is a full recovery.

What is going on in that area??! Hope she’s ok.

Yes more pro active. This young person was at the wrong place at the wrong time. As a parent I am sorry.

Otra víctima y no hay arestos que pasa

That's like a blk from the last shooting prayers for this young lady

Praying for her. ❀️

Someone caught the whole'thing",this one..,, So sad, Police Investigation News Scanner

Omg so sad. What is wrong with this town and our youth. Praying for her and her family and friends. Lord God please comfort them all. Amen πŸ™ŒπŸΏ πŸ™πŸΏ

Its best interest that he speaks up and that's to the Washington State Patrol is that, he wants to get rid of her and didn't but her next kin is also to be responsible and didn't ask for an ambulance, and that the Eastside Radio 89.7FM must confirm the incident and how he's known to her and that's not taking safety pre-caution, and my findings to the Bellevue Reporter have been verified. He doesn't know and, it's not an excuse to break the law, and that her resources were there and, someone rejected. Him and also his side, is the next step and he's the primary s8spec't, the both of them are. U wouldn't diss an ambulance for them.

So you're saying that there are no American criminals? That ALL of the crime committed here is by foreign people who are here illegally? What kind of blinders are you wearing? I'd like a pair - they might help me sleep better at night.

We need to stand up for no more violence in this city !

there’s been so many shootings lately what is going on!?!

Maybe if people got more than a coddled smack on the wrist the crime rates wouldnt be so insane... no ones scared to commit the crimes cuz they know how broken tge legal system is and that they wont be actually punished.

So many people making so many assumptions.
