Eyes and Ears Program

Eyes and Ears logo“As a steward of the community, I am entrusted to keep my eyes and ears on Novi. It’s my duty & responsibility to be alert for public hazards, emergencies and concerns I encounter during the day and to make timely contact with the City Department responsible for resolving these issues.”

Eyes and Ears Hangar
The Novi Eyes & Ears program is designed to provide community members with the appropriate department information and contact numbers to quickly and efficiently report suspicious activity.

 Communities who have implemented this type of program have seen significant results in identifying items to be repaired and generally see an improvement in their sense of community.

Contact the right City Department from 8:00am to 5:00pm to report maintenance problems or potential hazards.
