Riverside Police Chief Thomas Weitzel stated, I am honored that Director White-Dasher has selected Riverside to present her case study at this international conference. Director White-Dasher trained Riverside Police employees and our coyote complaints decreased by over 82 percent from 2013 to 2014. These numbers speak for themselves in regard to the officers knowledge of how to respond, document and manage the coyote population Contact: RPD: Chief Tom Weitzel
