The appointment was made under the provisions of North Carolina General Statues 19A. The animal cruelty investigator was appointed to serve without any compensation or other employee benefits for a one year term subject to removal for cause by the the Commissioners. The Animal Proctection Society has requested the reappointment of Amanda Graham, APS Associated Director, as the County Animal Cruelty Investigator for another one year term. The APS has investigated 220 reports of animal abuse or neglect and in three cases animals were seized under the General Statues 19A appointment. The designation has made the animal cruelty investigation process more efficient for APS. The Animal Control Division of the County Health Department concurs with the reappointment.
