Report Coyote Activity Through Official City Channels

Coyote sightings can happen in neighborhoods, parks, and open spaces throughout Torrance.

The City of Torrance asks residents to report coyote sightings, threats, and attacks through official city channels. Residents can use the city’s Coyote Portal or call the 24-hour Coyote Hotline at 310-618-3898.

If a coyote is attacking a person, residents should call 911 immediately.

Reporting matters because it helps the city track coyote activity and identify patterns. A single sighting may seem small, but repeated reports in the same area can help officials better understand where activity is occurring and whether additional response or education may be needed.

Residents should also take basic precautions: keep pets supervised, avoid leaving pet food outside, secure trash, and never intentionally feed wildlife.

For families, pet owners, and park users, knowing how to report coyote activity is a useful safety step.
