⚠️ COMMUNITY ADVISORY – COYOTE ACTIVITY ⚠️
The Irvington Police Department has received several reports of coyote sightings throughout the Village over the past several days. Some of the reports received today indicated that the coyote was becoming increasingly brazen and exhibiting behavior that has raised concern among residents.
Officers responded to the reported locations and conducted area canvasses, but were unable to locate the animal.
Unfortunately, this evening, the Police Department received a report from a resident that their dog was attacked by a coyote within the Village. Officers responded to the area, but the coyote had already fled prior to their arrival.
We urge all residents to exercise caution, particularly during the early morning and evening hours when coyotes are most active. Pets should be closely supervised at all times and brought indoors whenever possible. Residents are also reminded not to leave pet food, garbage, or other attractants outside.
If you observe a coyote in the Village, please contact the Irvington Police Department immediately so that officers can respond and assess the situation.
Thank you for your cooperation as we work to ensure the safety of our community.
