    The bear was spotted in Rockland County around 12:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 14, at a home on Simkin Drive in New City.

    "We want to remind everyone to stay safe and keep a respectful distance from wildlife," the Clarkstown Police Department said.

    Here are some safety tips if you encounter a black bear:

    • Never feed or approach a bear.
    • Remain calm. Do not run; instead, back away slowly.
    • Make noise to alert the bear to your presence without startling it.
    • Secure your trash and remove any food sources from your property.
