Animal Control Officers see terrible cases of cruelty, along with profound acts of compassion and love, as they investigate hundreds of complaints and calls for service every year.
Fairfax County Animal Control Officer Jennifer Milburn was named Animal Control Officer of 2013 by the Virginia Animal Control Association. Nominated by the personnel from the Virginia Attorney General’s Office, Officer Milburn was recognized for her diligence and steadfast determination in a case that involved a drowning of a Wallaby at the Reston Zoo in 2012.
