Attempted Criminal Trespass Program

Tyler Police and the City of Tyler have formed a plan to help businesses with the problems of after-hours gatherings on the businesses' parking lots. The unauthorized assemblies on private properties create noise for neighbors and trash for the businesses. The business owners contacted the Tyler Police Community Response Officers for a solution. Taking a cue from Mesquite, Officer Royce Jordan created an 'Attempted Criminal Trespass' program, based on Texas law, that allows officers to cite any individual who occupies a property, after business hours, without a legitimate purpose. Under this program, the police are able to cite trespassers on any property on which the business has properly posted a no trespassing sign (see photo below). Any business that is interested in this program can contact the Tyler Community Response Office at 903-531-1096.
