PUBLIC SAFETY WILDLIFE GUIDELINES – 2072 Consistent with Section 1801 of the Fish and Game Code, these Public Safety Wildlife Guidelines provide procedures to address public safety wildlife problems. Mountain lions, black bears, deer, coyotes, and large exotic carnivores that have threatened or Attacked humans are wildlife classified as public safety problems. Public safety wildlife incidents are classified into three types: A. Type Green (sighting) A report (confirmed or unconfirmed) of an observation that is perceived to be a public safety wildlife problem. The mere presence of the wildlife species does not in itself constitute a threat. B. Type Yellow (threat) A report where the presence of the public safety wildlife is confirmed by a field investigation, and the responding person (law enforcement officer or Department employee) perceives the animal to be an imminent threat to public health or safety. Imminent threat means there is a likelihood of human injury based on the totality of the circumstances. C. Type Red (attack) An attack by a public safety wildlife species on a human resulting in physical contact, injury, or death. These guidelines are not intended to address orphaned, injured, or sick wildlife that have not threatened public safety. To achieve the intent of these guidelines, the following procedures shall be used. I. Wildlife Incident Report Form Fill out a Wildlife Incident Report Form (WMD-2) for all reports of public safety wildlife incidents. The nature of the report will determine the response or CALIFORNIA MOUNTAIN LION STATUS REPORT · Updike 9 PROCEEDINGS OF THE SEVENTH MOUNTAIN LION WORKSHOP investigative action to the public safety problem. For those reports that require a follow-up field investigation, the Wildlife Incident Report Form will be completed by the field investigator. All completed Wildlife Incident Report Forms shall be forwarded through the regional offices to the Chief, WPB. II. Response to Public Safety Wildlife Problems The steps in responding to a public safety wildlife incident are diagramed below (Figure 3). Any reported imminent threats or attacks on humans by wildlife will require a follow-up field investigation. If a public safety wildlife species is outside its natural habitat and in an area where it could become a public safety problem, and if approved by the Deputy Director for the WIFD, it may be captured using restraint techniques approved by the Wildlife Investigations Laboratory (WIL). The disposition of the captured wildlife may be coordinated with WIL. A. Type Green (sighting) If the investigator determines that no imminent threat to public safety exists, Figure 3. Steps in responding to a public safety wildlife incident.
