Ramapo, NY — The Ramapo Police Department has received multiple reports of coyote sightings throughout the town. In light of recent coyote-related incidents in nearby Bergen County, the department is sharing official guidance from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to help residents stay informed and safe.

While the department notes that it is not a wildlife agency, it emphasizes the importance of relying on accurate, expert information. Coyotes are a natural part of New York’s ecosystem and typically avoid human contact. However, those that become accustomed to people may pose risks—particularly to small pets and children.

Residents are encouraged to review the DEC’s recommendations on preventing coyote conflicts, making properties less attractive to wildlife, and responding safely to encounters.
