    I live in a decent size county, and our three animal control agents only works four hours a day six days a week and all calls go through 911. So if animal control aren’t available, I could see 911 sending a cop…although he had an animal lasso, so maybe they do both jobs in that city.

      I used to work 9-1-1 in a pretty small town and our policy was to send a cop for every call. We once had someone call because an opossum was outside the door to a shop and it was scaring people. Cop went and shooed it away.

      So it could also be that.
