Because new ones have Bluetooth and can imitate a cell tower to get your phone to run thru it. Also has rfid readers. Can read your car wash rfid. Your wife's bra from Victoria secret. Someone said cc in wallets but that was no fact checked. So when the next big government lie happens. Covid and they say stay at home and you need to get groceries. They will know. And come after you to punish you. And your police are supporting this action.
Good they do more harm than any good they have been used for. more government power is never good through out history we know this and continue to see it now it just makes everything worse. youtu.be/Ju8rVbt05Z4?is=EoU2QZ99XvvyJf8_
Stupid politics based upon political platform others want
If we can’t even enforce firework laws, why does one think we can enforce a burn ban ?

Burn bans are easier to enforce. There’s a trail of smoke leading to the fires… fireworks go off and calls come in, but without proof of the fireworks, there’s only so much that can be done.
The only way you hurt anyone is thru their wallet. The fines have to be massive
What happened to fire from fireworks? That's okay?
I can't wait until you are voted out. So tired of your b.s.
Like many of you, I was disappointed to learn that Rob had been suspended from volunteering at Tri-Cities Animal Services.
When Rob informed me of his suspension, I sat down with our City Manager and asked that the decision be reconsidered and the suspension rescinded. I understood there were policies involved, and I respect the City’s responsibility to enforce those policies. However, I also shared that I did not agree with this particular decision, especially given the circumstances. Plainly that many of us were vocal about Russ and Stan and Rob being one of those vocal advocates.
I’ve come to know Rob as someone who genuinely cares about the animals and the shelter. I do not believe he would intentionally do anything to harm the organization or undermine its mission. I also believe that people should be afforded reasonable latitude in exercising their First Amendment rights, while recognizing that policies exist and must be considered.
While I respect the process, I cannot say I support the outcome. My hope is that Rob will have the opportunity to return as a volunteer in the future.
This situation also reinforces why improving Tri-Cities Animal Services remains one of my top priorities. Our community has made it clear that there is still work to be done, and I share that belief. We owe it to the animals, the volunteers, the staff, and the public to continue making meaningful improvements.
Finally, I want to thank Rob, and the many volunteers who generously give their time to care for the animals. I also want to recognize the dedicated shelter staff who show up every day and do challenging work. We may not always agree on every decision, but I believe we all want the same outcome: a shelter that serves both the animals and our community in the best way possible. I remain committed to doing my part to help make that happen.

Does the whistleblower protection apply to volunteers?
The volunteers are doing what TCAS should be doing - fighting like hell to save the lives of the souls in their care.
We as the volunteers that advocated and did everything for Russ and Stan are so sad about this decision. All we wanted was for Russ and Stan to have another opportunity to live . it was never our intention to brake the rules or policies . The dogs need Rob .
You know Leo, there are things we don't agree on, but so many issues where we align - and this is one of them. I appreciate the way you continue to advocate for improvements at the shelter and to our policies around managing our pet population.
Rob is one of the kindest men on this planet. I can't imagine that he would have EVER done anything to dishonor his role and responsibility loving those animals and working as a team with other staff and volunteers.
I believe both the City AND the Shelter need new managers. ASAP. The TCACA (Tricities Animal Control Authority) board needs to be expanded to include more members from the community, the volunteers, a representative from each city's council, a veterinarian NOT otherwise associated with the shelter, and representatives from rescue and foster organizations. The volunteers are the shelter's best and biggest asset and should have a prominent seat at the oversight table. Please contact the city representatives to let let your voice FOR the animals that don't have one be heard and understood. The shelter under the control of the City of Pasco has already had one (that we are aware of) devastating and financially crushing incident of improper oversight and mismanagement and may be rolling down the road towards another one the animals shouldn't have to bear. The little lives entrusted to our care there are depending on us. Let's not let them down again. Thanks to Leo Perales for helping with discussions around the community for a better shelter.
this is insane...Rob is a good one. I hope you can resolve this Leo.
Rob... Local Hero fighting for dogs and cats.😻
You would think the Animal Services Manager would fight for the volunteers and, most importantly, every dog in their care. Fight to change policies when needed and fight to avoid euthanasia whenever there is a safe, viable placement available. If that’s not the priority, it raises serious questions about whether he is in the right profession. 🤷🏽♀️ It’s also hard not to wonder whether those in charge at TCAS and members of the city council are embarrassed seeing how well these dogs are doing in training and boarding. Their progress shows what can happen when they’re given a chance. There absolutely needs to be an independent oversight board. These animals don’t have a voice, so we have to speak for them. TCAS exists to protect and care for animals—they deserve decisions that put the animals’ welfare first. It’s their shelter!
This is unacceptable! If he did something illegal that would be cause for suspension, however, that is not the case. I do not know Rob but I read what he posts and have heard and seen him at council meetings. From what I have witnessed, Rob is kind and has a huge heart for helping the lost and unwanted. Tri-City residents, there are issues happening with Tri-City Animal Services and they are not being transparent. Wethe people are trying to find out the underlying issues and take steps for thoughtful solutions. I am disappointed in your decision to take someone away from helping the animals. Cruelty exists in all forms.
Without even looking at the headline I thought retaliation. Someone needs to fix what he complained about and make him a paid staff before this becomes a lawsuit.
As the owner of Dancing Tree Rehabilitative Dog Training im astounded by the behavior of TCAS over SAVING SOME FUCKIN DOGS! SHAMEFUL decision...but guess what. Rob is always welcome to come see Russ whenever he would like. TCAS needs to stop hanging volunteers who speak truth. Stop being this way... it takes away from the dogs and just makes TCAS look like fools for doing this to someone the dogs RELY on. How many dogs won't get walked now because they are canning volunteers left and right? TCAS you need to speak up and do something you dont do...BE TRANSPARENT . Who's the evaluator doing these damn evaluations and scared of dogs ? Krystal from speak dog. Oops did I just whistleblow?
Tri-Cities Animal Services do better wtf
