At least in Dunwoody and city hall seems to like it that way. Background: a resident's daughter was walking their dog, on a leash, when it was attacked and killed by a much larger dog, not on a leash. As one might imagine this was horrifically traumatizing all the way around.
Well not ALL the way around.
Enter Dunwoody PD. What action did they take? Well they took down a report, knocked on a door and when no one answered...they left. Could well have been done online. There only comments (before Truth Butcher muzzled them) was to cover their superficial actions behind the lack of probable cause. However a local news outlet was able to determine this was not the first time this canine assailant went tooth and claw with other dogs each time not properly restrained by the owner.
Takeaways? Unrestrained dogs, outside of a bark-park, are a violation, by the owner, and should be cited and owners fined. No attack on your pet is too minor not to be reported to the police since they won't lift a finger without a wealth of discoverable reports. And, there's video of almost everything happening on this planet, so if you see something, video something.
And you have to wonder: if a child is mauled next will the police knock a few more times, maybe on a few more doors, or perhaps check with management to see which residents have [registered] pets? The visceral response is yes, but ponder what has been going on down at city hall and with the PD. Are you still sure that answer would apply in Dunwoody?
