Coyotes
On the evening of Tuesday, November 15, 2011, the North Castle Police Department received a report from a resident on the eastern side of New York Route 22 in North White Plains, of an aggressive animal that appeared to have been a coyote. The North Castle Police Department has been in contact with the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation and have discussed our options, as well as obtained some suggested guidelines for the affected neighborhoods to follow.
There are some steps that you can take to reduce/prevent coyote problems from occurring:
- Do not feed coyotes
- Supervise all young children when outdoors
- If you see a coyote, be aggressive in your behavior - make loud noises, wave your arms, throw sticks, etc.
- Do not allow pets to run free
- Do not feed pets outside
- Make any garbage inaccessible to coyotes and other animals
- Eliminate availability of bird seed. Coyotes are attracted to the concentration of birds and rodents that come to feeders. If you do feed birds, clean up waste seed and spillage.
- Ask your neighbors to follow these same steps.
The North Castle Police Department will have patrols monitoring the area surrounding the reported sighting and all officers will be equipped to react appropriately if they encounter the animal. All residents are asked to immediately report any and all animal sightings to the North Castle Police Department at 914-273-9500.
