- Honesty
- Integrity
- Judgment
- Punctuality
You must meet minimum qualifications and satisfactorily complete each phase of the applicant investigation process to be selected for appointment as a City of Friendswood Animal Control Officer.
Careful Consideration
You must seriously consider you own reason for becoming an Animal Control Officer. Not every person is an appropriate candidate for this career. Frequently, Animal Control Officers go from periods of normal activity to sudden situations causing significant physical and emotional stress. You will be placed in situations that will test your judgment. Our process attempts to ensure that applicants who may pose risks of injury to themselves or others will not be selected. You are personally responsible to consider the risks before proceeding.
We seek only those people whose histories reflect honesty, reliability, and responsible financial management. Public confidence depends on every officer possessing and exhibiting unquestioned integrity.
