Pick Up After Your Dog Or Pay A Fine, Northport Police Say

Residents are reminded to pick up after their dogs on public property in Northport Village after authorities received an influx of community complaints.

Owners who don’t pick up after their dogs are subject to a fine. And if this trend continues, it could result in a policy change to make parks less dog-friendly, police say.

“It has been a long-standing tradition for Village of Northport to make our parks dog friendly,” Northport Police said in a statement. “However, dog owners have the responsibility to pick up after their dogs have done their business.”

Doggie clean up bag stations are available in all Village parks.

“Northport Village hopes to maintain its dog friendly status with the help of our residents and neighbors who visit our parks with their four-legged friends,” police said.
