Recommendations for handling encounters with coyotes 
In response to concerns from residents about increased coyote sightings, the Public Safety Department is sharing the attached link from the Humane Society of the United States. It includes guidelines for discouraging neighborhood coyotes and how to effectively change coyote behavior. Among the many recommendations, the Humane Society encourages people to carrying a whistle when walking in areas where coyotes are known to wander. The loud noise of the whistle is effective in scaring off a coyote.

According to the Oakland County Parks Division,
fewer than 1% of coyotes become nuisances to people.
Coyotes rarely attack humans. Bites from snakes, rodents, and domestic dogs are a far greater possibility than coyote bites, according to public health authorities.
