Clarkstown Police Department Report A Black Bear Sighting In New City

Published

on

A bear was spotted in the area of Simkin Dr. We want to remind everyone to stay safe and keep a respectful distance from wildlife. Here are some important safety tips if you encounter a black bear.
Never feed or approach a bear! Remain calm. Do not run; instead, back away slowly. 
If you’re approached by a bear, you should remain calm and try to slowly back away while keeping an eye on the bear:  
Identify yourself: Speak in a calm, reassuring voice to let the bear know you’re human. 
Don’t run: Running can trigger a predatory response from the bear. 
Make noise: You can try yelling, banging pots and pans, or using an airhorn to make loud noises. 
Make yourself look big: You can try waving your arms or moving to higher ground. 
Use bear spray: If you have bear spray, you can use it to deter the bear. 
Leave the area: If possible, leave the area or take a detour. 
Be especially careful around female bears: Never place yourself between a mother bear and her cubs. 
Secure your trash and remove any food sources from your property.
