The Animal Control Division of the Long Beach Police Department is responsible for the safety and security of animal and citizens in the City of Long Beach. We have instituted numerous programs here in Long Beach that no other Animal Control Agency on the coast utilizes.

Our procedures for holding animals at the police station instead of transporting directly to the Humane Society have saved the city over $300,000 dollars in costs over the last 8 years. It also saves the owner the added expense of paying to retrieve their animal from the Humane Society as well. We also implement a variation of the Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) program for cats.

We can trap feral cats, have them fixed, and then release at a fraction fo the cost of dropping them off at the Humane Society. 

This program saves approximately $120 dollars per animal.  We also keep a data base of animals that have been involved in acts of aggression against of their animals or people within the city limits to try and ensure a safe environment for all. 

We welcome anyone who wishes to stop by and see our facilities or want to volunteer to help us out with our animal care program.
