In October of 2019, Sergeant K. England responded to a call about an injured bald eagle. Upon arrival, she observed the eagle was unable to fly, and was hopping around on the ground.
The eagle was diagnosed with a coracoid fracture in her right wing. She healed well, and after a specialist gauged the birds progress she was able to be released back into her natural environment.
SO MANY SERVICES
FCPD Animal Protection Police Officers are not only police officers, they have an additional set of skills and certifications that allow them to work with animals, both wild and domestic. The Animal Services Division includes the Wildlife Management Specialist Office (WMSO), which implements programs to meet County wildlife conservation and management goals. The WMSO also addresses public safety concerns with regard to wildlife.
