Trespass Letter of Consent
A trespass letter of consent (TLC) is a document which allows a police officer to take trespass enforcement action without first contacting you. Police officers do not normally have the authority to go into a private property, which is not open to the public, and remove individuals or request they leave the property. The consent or authority of the property owner or manager is needed.
If an officer observes someone on private property when the business is closed, or a problem reported by someone who does not have authority to sign a trespass complaint, the police must first contact a person who is legally responsible for the property before taking any trespass action.
There are further restrictions on types of properties in which this program is available for. Filling out this form does not guarantee your participation. You will be contacted by an officer to complete your application to the TLC program.
