14503. The governing body of a local agency, by ordinance, may
authorize employees of public pounds, societies for the prevention of
cruelty to animals, and humane societies, who have qualified as
humane officers pursuant to Section 14502, and which societies or
pounds have contracted with such local agency to provide animal care
or protection services, to issue notices to appear in court pursuant
to Chapter 5c (commencing with Section 853.5) of Title 3 of Part 2 of
the Penal Code for violations of state or local animal control laws.
Those employees shall not be authorized to take any person into
custody even though the person to whom the notice is delivered does
not give his or her written promise to appear in court. The authority
of these employees is to be limited to the jurisdiction of the local
agency authorizing the employees.
