The City of Signal Hill and the Signal Hill Police Department are committed to assisting businesses and property owners with maintaining a safe business environment, reducing vandalism and property damage, and addressing other quality of life issues in the community.  

A notarized Trespass Letter of Authorization will allow the Signal Hill Police Department to act on your behalf when enforcing trespassing violations on your property outside of normal business hours or when you or your designated representative are not present.   If you or your representative are present at the location, the Signal Hill Police Department will need to speak directly with you when taking enforcement action.  

By law, Trespass Letters must be notarized to be valid.  Additionally, Trespass Letters are only valid for one (1) year and must be renewed annually.

  2. Obtain a blank form at the Police Department lobby.  The completed and notarized forms can be submitted to Records at the front counter.  The forms will be scanned and kept on file by the PD.
