MEMORANDUM

General Services Department
THRU: Council President James Tate
FROM: Council Member Denzel Anton McCampbell
DATE: June 23, 2026
RE: DACC Data-Improvement Commitments — Timeline and Process Review
Thank you so much for your response to my earlier memo, Animal and Wildlife Enforcement in
the City. This memo is asking for further information on the data and reporting commitments
made by Detroit Animal Care and Control (DACC)’s May 20, 2026, response on animal and
wildlife enforcement (attached). The five initiatives below are drawn directly from DACC’s
written responses. For each, please provide what DACC plans to do to improve its data, the
timeline, and the process.
1) Granular Tethering Data (Section 1 — Tethering and Outdoor Exposure)
Current state: Tethering complaints are currently logged under the broader “wellness
checks” category, and the system does not isolate tethering-specific enforcement results
from general neglect calls.
Stated plan: DACC reports it is transitioning to a “more granular data-entry system in
2026” to produce specific metrics on tethering violations versus other welfare concerns.
Timeline and process: This is the only commitment in the entire response carrying a
calendar reference (2026). No interim milestones or definition of “granular” is provided,
and no go-live date within 2026 is specified.
2) Geographic Mapping of Complaints (Section 5 — Complaint Patterns and
Enforcement)
Current state: Enforcement is described as 100% complaint-driven, with officers
responding to the geographic locations where residents report concerns.
Coleman A. Young Municipal Center | 2 Woodward Ave., Suite 1340, Detroit, Michigan 48226
Phone: 313.224.2151 | councilmemberdenzel@detroitmi.gov
2
Stated plan: DACC states it is “currently mapping these calls to ensure that resource
allocation matches the volume of need in specific precincts.”
Timeline and process: Framed as already underway, but with no start date, completion
target, or description of how the mapping output will be used, validated, or made public.
3) Proactive vs. Reactive Activity Tracking (Section 5 — Complaint Patterns and
Enforcement)
Current state: Historically, proactive (officer-initiated) work was not tracked separately
from reactive complaint calls.
Stated plan: New protocols “will now flag ‘Officer Initiated’ stops” — for example, an
officer observing a dog at large while driving to another call — to better measure
proactive community policing.
Timeline and process: The phrase “will now” implies an imminent or active rollout, but
no effective date is given, and no detail is provided on how the flag is implemented in the
database or how the resulting data will be reported.
4) Database Depth and Transparency (Section 8 — Accountability and Performance
Metrics)
Current state: DACC relies on internal daily, monthly, and yearly reports generated
through its database, with monthly metrics already published on the GSD/DACC
webpage.
Stated plan: DACC states it is “actively working to improve the depth and transparency
of this data.”
Timeline and process: No specifics of any kind (no timeline, no working definition of
what improved “depth and transparency” entails, and no identified deliverable or
publication change).
5) “Compliance Loop” Tracking (Section 8 — Accountability and Performance
Metrics)
Current state: DACC issued 1,776 citations in 2025; the response does not report how
many of those citations resulted in compliance.
Stated plan: DACC states it is “currently refining its ‘Compliance Loop’ tracking,”
which will measure how many owners corrected the underlying issue (e.g., purchased a
license or vaccinated the animal) within 30 days of receiving a citation.

Phone: 313.224.2151 | councilmemberdenzel@detroitmi.gov
3
Timeline and process: Described as in progress, but with no completion date and no
commitment to report the resulting compliance rate publicly or to the Council.
Existing Infrastructure Referenced (Context, Not New Commitments)
Two existing capabilities underpin the plans above and are worth noting, though neither
represents a new commitment:
- Chameleon Software Database: All responses are logged in this system, which already
allows DACC to identify repeat calls at specific addresses and escalate enforcement
based on property history (Section 1).
- Public monthly metrics: Monthly figures are already available to the public on the
GSD/DACC webpage (Section 8).
Please specify the clearest path for each of the five items: a target completion date, a named
accountable lead, and a commitment to publish the resulting metrics (especially by using the
existing infrastructure).
Please do not hesitate to contact my office if you have any questions. Thank you.
