A Great Team 68 Animals: Part of the Team County of Los Angeles Annual Report 2006-2007 Goats, camels, birds, dogs, horses…all are part of Los Angeles County’s team. Animals are vital to a number of tasks performed by County departments. Dogs are the most popular of the animal helpers, used by the Sheriff’s Department to check for alcohol (pruno) in jails, explosives in subways and train stations, and to corral suspects. County Police also use dogs on patrol and to visit child patients in hospitals. The Fire Department uses canines on urban search and rescue missions; the Coroner’s Office uses them to search for human remains in disaster areas and crime scenes. The Public Library uses dogs in its children’s reading program, while the Registrar of Voters used a Dalmatian as a mascot to promote its “Got Dots” voting campaign. Among the more unusual animals is Deputy Bert, a camel that is a sworn deputy sheriff, used at Photo by Liz Breault

Also unusual are goats, used by the Fire Department and Descanso Gardens to control vegetation to help eliminate natural fire hazards. Descanso has an Adopt-a-Goat program for persons wishing to adopt a goat or to donate to support a goat. Horses are used for patrol by both the Sheriff’s Department and the County Police for parks, trails, shopping centers and rescue missions; and birds, snakes and other animals are used by the Parks Department at its nature centers to teach the pubic to respect wildlife. The Parks Department also has its own eagle–Seemore–which encourages residents to report suspicious activities at parks. A Great Team 69
