Which code is used for Animal Complaint - Anti-Tethering?

• A. 45A Animal Complaint - Anti-Tethering
• B. 45B Animal Complaint - Bite
• C. 45C Animal Complaint - Confined Animal
• D. 45F Animal Complaint - Follow up

Answer: (A)

Animal-related calls are categorized so responders can quickly understand the situation. When the issue involves a animal being tethered, the appropriate code is the one that explicitly labels Anti-Tethering under Animal Complaint. This tag flags the specific safety and welfare concern of tethering, guiding the response and data capture appropriately. Bite, Confined Animal, and Follow up refer to different scenarios: a bite involves an animal injuring someone or needing medical attention; a confined animal relates to where the animal is kept or if it's in a restricted space; a follow up is used when returning to a prior matter. Using the Anti-Tethering designation ensures the call is understood as a tethering issue, not these other situations.
