If a dog is impounded, it shall be the duty of a member of the Simla Police Department or other dog enforcement officer immediately to institute proceedings in the Municipal Court on behalf of the Town against the owner, possessor or keeper of such dog, if known, charging the owner, possessor or keeper with a violation of the appropriate section of this chapter. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as preventing the member of the Simla Police Department or other dog enforcement officer from instituting a proceeding in the Municipal Court for violation of this chapter where there is no impoundment.
