Parking Enforcement

Parking Enforcement consists of two civilian parking enforcement officers. These officers are responsible for parking efficiency of the central business area.

Animal Control

City of Hickory Animal Control is a function of the Hickory Police Department. The Animal Control Unit is given the task of enforcing local City Ordinances and State Statutes. These laws are primarily to protect citizens and their pets from injury and to assist in maintaining a quality level of life for both. The Animal Control Division attempts whenever possible to find homes and owners for stray dogs or cats and works with the Catawba County Animal Shelter who aid in the adoption process.

The Animal Control Unit administers a spaying/neutering program, which is funded by the Hickory City Council. This program assists financially in the spaying/neutering of dogs and cats. To participate in this program an individual must reside in the City of Hickory and have a single income of less than $20,000 or a combined household income of $25,000 or less. There are applications for the program available at Hickory Police Department.
