Community & Animal Safety

What is Community & Animal Safety?

In June 2023, Forsyth County unveiled Community & Animal Safety as the unified brand identity for the departments of Code Compliance, Park Rangers, Animal Services and the Animal Shelter.

The mission of Community & Animal Safety is to promote the workflow and partnerships between the four departments that work on a daily basis with Forsyth County residents and those who conduct business in the community.
