The second full week of April celebrates National Animal Control Officer Appreciation Week each year. This year we are even more thankful for all that our DeKalb County Animal Control and Enforcement officers do to protect the people and animals of DeKalb County. Most people simply think that these officers just catch stray dogs and cats, but there is so much more to the service they offer to our community. Not only do they protect the most vulnerable animals in our community, but they are also a first line of support for our community members when they have an issue with animals in their neighborhoods. These officers work as voices for animals facing abuse or neglect. They connect with community members directly as they travel through the county. Injured or sick stray animals make it to treatment thanks to these brave folks. Working in a uniform around the city is not always safe and working with unpredictable, scared, or aggressive animals takes a a special kind of person to do this work well. We appreciate our dedicated and talented animal enforcement officers. We love getting to spend time with them as well, as you can see from these photos from a Companion Animals and Friends Event last fall. DeKalb County and the Save Our DeKalb Animals Initiative are dedicated to supporting these brave officers and will continue to work to improve the conditions they work in. Make sure to say thank you if you see one of our officers out in town! See MoreSee Less

At last week’s Board of Commissioners meeting on March 11, we were deeply honored to welcome Munir Meghjani—a progressive thinker, civic entrepreneur, and dedicated community leader—as our Inspirational Speaker. His powerful words reminded us of the importance of service, unity, and compassion. 🙌 I was also proud to present a proclamation honoring the Ismaili Islamic community, recognizing their meaningful contributions to DeKalb’s cultural fabric. The proclamation celebrated the life and legacy of His Late Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan IV and congratulated His Highness Prince Rahim Aga Khan V on his accession as Imam of the Ismaili faith. 🌍💫 In addition, Commissioners Bolton and Terry presented a proclamation for March Into A Cleaner Tomorrow, a community initiative to build a Cleaner, Greener DeKalb. We encourage all residents to get involved—and of course, we’re counting on District 2 to show up strong! 🌿💪 🎥 Don’t forget—tomorrow’s BOC meeting is action-packed! Join us in person at 178 Sam Street at 9 AM or tune in live on DCTV to stay engaged in the decisions shaping our county. #DeKalbBOC #District2DeKalb #CommunityInAction #CleanerGreenerDeKalb #IsmailiCommunity #LeadershipInspiration #March11Recap See MoreSee Less
