DEFINITION
 
Under immediate or general supervision, enforces state, city, and County laws regarding stray, dangerous, neglected/injured, and nuisance domestic animals; investigates complaints, patrols assigned areas, captures animals, and ensures humane animal protection and control; and performs related duties as assigned.
 
SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED
 
Receives immediate or general supervision from assigned supervisory or management personnel.  Exercises no direct supervision over staff.  May exercise technical and functional direction and provide training to lower-level staff.
 
CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
 
Animal Services Officer I: This is the entry-level classification in the Animal Services Officer class series.  Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine animal control and County enforcement procedures.  As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently.  Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the II-level, but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods.  Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern.  Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise. 
 
Animal Services Officer II: This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the Animal Services Officer class series.  Positions at this level are distinguished from the I-level by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently, and exercising judgment and initiative.  Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit.
 
This class is distinguished from the Sr. Animal Services Officer in that the latter provides day-to-day technical and functional direction to lower-level staff.  
 
Positions in the Animal Services Officer class series are flexibly staffed and positions at the II-level are normally filled by advancement from the I-level, after gaining the knowledge, skill, and experience which meet the qualifications for and after demonstrating the ability to perform the work of the higher-level class.
