[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do realize that police do NOT respond to unleashed dogs, right?

You call animal control.

To find the correct number Google rock creek park and call the general information line.

But please let the police deal with real issues.[/quote]

Hi, I'm a National Park Service employee within the education division of RCP, and you are incorrect.   The rangers won't respond, that's true, but the US Park Police in Dist. #3 will.  [/quote]

Great. What is that number?? It does seem senseless and silly to call the police. But there are some pretty inconsiderate and repeat offenders that have gone after myself and dogs. Do the park police ever monitor the trails for this sort of thing?  I have never seen any...[/quote]

I guess I just don't understand. Why don't you head over to Arlington and run your dogs over there? Be it in one of the parks, or on a fenced in baseball diamond or a  fenced school playground (for a smaller dog)? Not only won't animal welfare officers respond, but the police will tell refer you to said animal welfare officers. Thus, nobody responds and you're left alone to play as you see fit.

Done and done.[/quote]

This response is strange and angry... the OP wanted a non-emergency number to call to report people with off leash dogs that would not leash them upon request... so that she and her dogs could be safe on the trails as well.  What does it have to do with being fenced up?  Frankly, follow the law.  End of story.[/quote]
