Mesa Police Department Trespass Enforcement Program
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS
PROGRAM IS CURRENTLY
FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY ONLY.
 Are you having problems with
unwanted visitors on your business property? We just might have a solution
for you!
The Trespass Enforcement Program was created specifically for businesses to help
with incidents of trespassing and loitering after the business has closed.
Download
the
authorization letter,
complete the information and mail to the address on the form
to register your property. You also have the option
of filling out the
request form using your computer, then print,
sign and mail it in.
Once your completed Trespass Enforcement Request
has been received, two stickers will be sent
to you to place in visible locations on the property, so Mesa Police officers know
you are participating in the program. 'No
Trespassing' signs must be posted in highly
visible locations on the property. The stickers do
not take the place of signs.
Once your property has been registered with the
Mesa Police Department and you have signs posted, an officer will then be able to trespass an individual from
your property who does not have a legitimate reason to be there,
without a property owner or manager present. An arrest can also be
made after the person has received one prior warning from a Mesa
Police Officer.
IMPORTANT NOTE --
In order for rental properties to participate in
this program, they must have a common area (clubhouse,
basketball court, park or retention basin/s) that is for use by the
residents. Only those areas will be covered by the
Trespass Enforcement Request. Individual residences
are not covered. Single family homes are also not
covered because there is someone living on site who
can call police when there are trespassers on the
property.
PROPERTIES WITH
MULTIPLE ADDRESSES
If you are registering a property with multiple
addresses (i.e. shopping mall), be sure to list each
individual address that is to be covered by the
letter on the letter. For example, instead of
2260-2280 W StreetName, list 2260, 2264, 2270,
2278, 2280 W StreetName.
Out-of-State Owners
If you are outside of Arizona and
own property in Mesa,
you must note on the Trespass Enforcement Request a
local contact name, full mailing address and phone
number as the stickers are mailed for placement. If
no one is listed as a local contact, the stickers
will be mailed to you and it will be your
responsibility to post them on your property.
