Reliable animal services and public safety

Which animal-services measures should a council review regularly to understand animal welfare, public safety and provider capacity?

The jury lists possible shelter statistics, care records, bite-incident information, licensing data and financial information. This discussion asks which measures are most useful and how they should be explained.

Why this matters

A service contract needs information that allows residents and elected officials to understand performance.
