Divisions and Services


The Tooele City Police Department is comprised of many divisions, each of which fill a different but equally important role in the department.
Divisions and Services
Administration
Animal Control/Ordinance Enforcement
The purpose of the Animal Control/Ordinance Compliance division is to achieve code compliance so that the citizens of Tooele may enjoy a cleaner, safer, and better place to work, live, and recreate.  Our mission is to work with the community to resolve issues that impact the quality of life and the well-being of people living and working in Tooele.  Our goal is to enforce policies and regulations that promote strong, vibrant neighborhoods and communities and to encourage the positive and orderly growth and development of the City.  The Ordinance Compliance Officer is charged with addressing complaints and issues regarding improvement of neighborhoods, integrity of property values, and enforcement of ordinances to avoid unsightly or dangerous situations on private properties.
