New Animal Control Policy for Niles

There’s a new animal control policy in place for the village of Niles. 

The policy was created to help increase animal control presence and access, according to the village’s website. Animal Control Officer Peter Babikan will be patrolling the streets and responding to animal calls.

“I applaud the return of Officer Babikan to the streets as Animal Control Officer. Having him serve in an active role assisting residents with animal control problems is simply good government,” said Mayor Andrew Przybylo in a statement released on the village of Niles website.

Office Babikan will also be available to help residents with wildlife issues, traps, skunks, and stray house pets. If there is an emergency situation, residents can always call the Niles Police Department.
