Coyote Information

Walking Coyote
Running Coyote

The Fountain Valley Police Department shares citizen concerns about the local coyote population.  We want our neighborhoods to remain safe while co-existing with coyote populations in their natural habitats.  We have teamed up with the Department of Fish and Game, Orange County Animal Control and the Park Rangers at Mile Square Park to identify wildlife issues.  Our goal is to inform and educate the public on how best to avoid inviting wildlife into our neighborhoods.
  
Please report coyote sightings to the Fountain Valley Police Department at 714-593-4485, as we are augmenting the Department of Fish and Game tracking reports.
