break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: spac --089e01536be6251efd0530785a5a Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi Nancy, Yes, you can call in and report a description of the person(s), dog and license plate. Same goes for vehicles on beaches or dunes - best to report as much info as possible (plate # if visible, colour, type, and driver description) and (if safe to do) take a photo. I have reported plates and descriptions before and officers do investigate. They have given warnings and laid charges in different cases.
