They will issue notices to people parking illegally and provide information to the police about stolen or abandoned vehicles. They will issue notices to people in violation of environmental protection regulations (such as lighting an incinerator outside specified times or illegally burning substances such as rubber) and will catch stray and unregistered animals and, if possible, notify owners and follow up complaints, conduct interviews and issue penalty notices to animal owners who are in violation of the various acts and by-laws. They will keep records of issued notices and payment of penalties and will attend court to give evidence in support of any prosecutions. They will give timely and courteous advice to the community.
