What seems to work fairly well here is:
Animal Control is supervised by the Sheriff's Office (The primary L.E. agency here) and is part of it's budget, although the Animal Control officers are not L.E. certified. In many cases Animal Control seems to serve as an entry level position for the Sheriff's Office. Because of this relationship they work well with the actual cops. The Animal Control officers write infractions but if a complaint needs to be written for the S.A. (prosecutor), a certified L.E.O. writes it, usually the one supervising them but not necessarily.

That is not the case if you write the enabling legislation - i think there is some thing in the zoning/ building administration section that designated people can write appearance tickets - so i think a zoning inspector could write tickets to stuff in the county code dogs, junk cars and stuff like that
as a fire inspector back east i could and did write tickets on city code stuff. I went to court on traffic court days with the regular LEOs .
