THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AT APPROXIAMETLY 0640HRS ON 4-11-06. THE DOGS ARE OWNED BY KEVIN NELSON. CHIEF BRAAM WOULD LIKE ME TO GO TO NELSONS RESIDENCE TO SEE IF HE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE DOG ORDINANCE. IF HE IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE I AM TO ISSUE HIM A CITATION FOR DOGS AT LARGE. AT THAT TIME I DID NOT HAVE A CURRENT COPY OF THE CITY'S DOG ORDINANCE AND OUR OFFICE MANAGER WAS UNABLE TO LACATE ONE FOR ME. WHEN I RETURNED TO DUTY ON 4-14-06 A COPY OF THE ORDINANCE WAS IN MY BOX. DURING MY SHIFTS ON 4-14/4-151 WAS UNABLE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH NELSON. ON 4-16-06 AT APPROXIEMETLY 1800HR I DROVE BY THE NELSON RESIDENCE ON SPRUCE STREET AND OBSERVED TWO BLACK DOGS LAYING IN NELSONS YARD. I DROVE AROUND THE BLOCK AND THROUGH THE ALLEY BEHIND NELSONS HOUSE. THE TWO DOGS WHATCHED AS I DROVE BY. THE DOGS WERE NOT TIED UP IN COMPLIANCE WITH CITY ORDINANCE AND I COULD NOT SEE IF THEY WERE WEARING AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE. I CONTINUED PAST THE RESIDENCE AND TURNED AROUND AND DROVE BACK TO THE RESIDENCE. AS I SLOWED DOWN BOTH DOGS GOT UP AND BEGAN BARKING. THEY RAN TOWARDS MY SQAUD BARKING ALL THE WAY UP TO MY SQAUD. AS THEY APPROACHED THE SQAUD A FEMALE CAME OUT OF THE HOUSE AND CALLED THEM BACK AND INTO THE HOUSE. WHEN THE DOGS WERE IN THE HOUSE I EXITED MY SQAUD AND ASKED THE FEMALE IF KEVIN NELSON WAS THERE. AT THAT TIME NELSON CAME OUT OF THE HOUSE. NELSON APPROACHED ME AND ASKED IF I WAS HERE BECAUSE OF THE DOGS. I STATED THAT I WAS. I ASKED NELSON IF HE HAD A ROPE OR CHAINS TO SECURE THE DOGS, HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT. NELSON SAID THAT HE IS WORKING ON FENCE BUT IT WOULD NOT BE READY FOR SIX WEEKS. I TOLD NELSON THAT WOULD NOT BE A CURE FOR THE PROBLEM RIGHT NOW. 1 TOLD NELSON ABOUT THE INCIDENT ON 4-11-06 AND THAT IF HE WAS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY ORDINANCE ABOUT DOGS NOT BEING TIED UP THAT I WOULD HAVE TO ISSUE HIM A CITATION. NELSON ASKED IF I COULD GIVE HIM A WARNING. I REMINDED NELSON THAT OFFICER HOGAN HAS ALREADY WARNED HIM AND GIVEN HIM A COPY OF THE ORDINANCE. NELSON THEN ASKED IF I COULD GIVE HIM A WRITTEN WARNING. I TOLD NELSON THAT HE HAS HAD ENOUGH WARNINGS. NELSON STATED THAT HE WAS AWARE THE HIS DOGS RUN AWAY FROM HIS PROPERTY AND IT HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM.
