Montgomery County officials have selected a local man as the county’s newest Director of Animal Control.

Officials announced today that Tim Clifton has been selected as the Director of Animal Control after serving in that capacity on a interim basis for the past month.

Officials say Clifton most recently served as the School Resource Officer Supervisor at the Sheriff’s Office.

Montgomery County Mayor Carolyn Bowers says his law enforcement experience will serve the department well as they continue to educate the community on animal welfare laws and regulations, as well as when they have to work cases through the court system.
