Courtesy Notices

During regular patrol, officers have noticed several garage doors open along with other potential concerns.  In order to proactively approach crime prevention, you may start seeing Courtesy Notices around Byrnes Mill.  These notices, printed on bright, orange paper are to alert you that an officer noticed a cause for concern.  These notices are placed for (but not limited to):
