Track: Mobile and Device Apps
Authors: Dawn Siegel, Susan Moore

Oakland County, MI Animal Control needed a more efficient way to enforce pet ownership laws and control the stray pet population. An ArcGIS 10.1 (Desktop, Server and Runtime SDK for iOS) solution was implemented to facilitate an animal census to reduce manual data entry and provide real-time information. As inspections are completed, the Animal Census records are updated to the database and the GIS map is synchronized to provide an immediate visual update to all field crews.
