The Mount Prospect Police Department continues to receive reports and community concerns regarding coyote sightings in residential areas. In response, the Village is taking proactive steps to better understand and address this activity.

To support this effort, the Village has engaged an Urban Coyote Specialist with a proven track record of successful management strategies in other metropolitan communities. The specialist will evaluate local coyote behavior, population patterns, and movement to help guide appropriate next steps.

Community input is essential to this process. Residents who observe a coyote in their neighborhood are encouraged to report the sighting by visiting:

When submitting a report, please include details about the location, time, and condition of the animal, if possible. This information will help the specialist accurately assess local activity.

Residents with questions about the online reporting process may contact the Mount Prospect Police Department at 847-870-5656.

Coyotes are wild animals. Residents should never attempt to approach, follow, or search for coyotes. Observations should be reported only when sightings occur naturally.

The Village will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available. Please check back for future communications as this investigation progresses.
