Courtesy Security Awareness notices (CSA’s) are notices that
officers from the Novi Police Department can fill out and leave at a
home or business when they notice a security problem at a particular
location. If a patrol officer finds an open garage door, newspapers
piled up or no exterior lighting, they can complete a CSA notice and
leave it at the home or business to alert the owner/resident of the
security problem. These notices are only left after a complete check
of the area has determined that no criminal activity has taken
place.
These notices are used for a variety of situations; however, the
open doors seem to be the most common. Also printed on the notices
is the crime prevention telephone number that residents and business
owners can utilize in order to obtain tips on making their property
safer and more secure.
