FICRA has been working with representatives from the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, as well as the United States Department of Agriculture, to help better educate and inform Island residents about our growing coyote population. They agree that the best way to deal with the coyotes is for Islanders to be proactive in protecting their own property and creating an unwelcome environment for coyotes. Both parties agree that the best resource for learning how to do this is through the WA DFW website "Living with Wildlife. The link can be found here: LIVING WITH WILDLIFE. We encourage all Islanders to take a look at this information and to also share it with their friends and neighbors.
John Ohlson has taken down the Crime Reporting pages from his new website foxislandwa and added pages to report on coyote related incidences. FICRA's website, www.FICRA.org remains the website for reporting crimes and other incidences that concern Fox Island residents. We appreciate John's cooperation in making this change to his website, as it reduces the confusion of having two websites for reporting crime and other incidences.
Fox Island is a lovely community and one aspect of living here is that there is little crime on the Island. As the population and activities increase, unfortunately, so can crime. Since the Pierce County Sheriff Department does not have the personnel to provide full-time coverage on the Island, we have formed a Crime Watch Committee, consisting of a volunteer citizen patrol and neighborhood watch activities, including hiring off-duty sheriff deputies to patrol on a regular basis. These activities, especially hiring of the deputies, is a significant expense for FICRA. We depend upon donations to the Crime Watch Committee to maintain and, if necessary, enhance these activities.
