Urban Coyotes
The best way to protect your pets is to let them outside only when you are with them, especially at night. Some other precautions include:
- Never feeding coyotes or any other wildlife.
- Keeping pets and pet food inside. If feeding outside, feed pets during the day (no more than one hour) and remove the food and water bowls when finished.
- Staying close to your pet when taking them outdoors and always keeping them on a leash, especially from dusk through early morning hours.
- Removing fallen fruit from the ground.
- Bagging food wastes such as meat scraps or leftover pet food.
- Keeping trash in containers with tight-fitting lids.
- Using "hazing" techniques to shoo away coyotes, such as standing tall, yelling and waving arms while approaching the coyote; using a whistle, air horn, bell or other device; banging pots or pans together; stomping your feet; using a water hose, pepper spray, or throwing tennis balls or rocks at the coyote.
- Never running away from a coyote.
Long Beach Animal Control Services, who provides animal control service for the City of Los Alamitos, do not respond to calls for service for normal coyote behavior, such as sightings, but these calls are recorded and documented which is important information for coyote management. However, Long Beach Animal Control Officers do respond to calls involving a sick or injured coyote(s), or if there is a public safety issue; for instance, a coyote(s) threatening people or lingering in an area frequented by people, such as a yard, park, playground, school, etc.
Coyote activity should be reported online using the link below. All animal-related emergencies should be reported immediately by calling (562) 570-PETS (7387). If there is an immediate threat to a human, call 9-1-1.

Battery Investigation - Request for Information
On
Wednesday, June 15, 2016, patrol officers investigated three separate reports
of battery that occurred during the evening in the residential area south of
Katella Avenue, between Maple Street and Lexington Avenue.
Officers
determined that between approximately 4:00 P.M. and 6:30 P.M., three adult
women were approached by a similarly described individual and their buttocks
were touched or grabbed by the suspect.
The suspect then fled the area on a skateboard. None of the victims or witnesses knew the
suspect. A witness stated there may be a
fourth victim who has not come forward.
The
suspect is described as an African American Male, or possibly a Hispanic Male
with a dark complexion, between 18 and 25 years old. He is further described as being short and
thin, with some light facial hair, and was wearing a dark t-shirt and dark
shorts at the time.
While
the three identified crimes being investigated are classified as misdemeanors
in the State of California, the Los Alamitos Police Department believes
incidents like these have a significant impact on our residents' feeling of
safety in the community. As such, the
Police Department is actively working to identify and prosecute the individual
responsible.
Investigators
are also working to determine if there are additional victims and circumstances
in these incidents, and whether the suspect resides in or is associated with
the area. If anyone witnessed these
incidents or has information that may assist investigators in the matter; they
are encouraged to telephone the Los Alamitos Police Watch Commander at (562)
431-2255 ext. 426, or Detective Kim at (562) 431-2255 ext. 407. Or they may anonymously telephone O.C.
Crimestoppers at (855) 847-6227 or submit a tip via www.occrimestoppers.org.
