As the weather warms up, OPD often sees an increase in groups gathering in business parking lots and on private property, especially after hours.
You may notice Letter of Agency signs posted at many properties around Ogden. These signs let the public know that property owners have requested help from Ogden Police officers to address trespassing, disturbances, property damage, or individuals refusing to leave.
For the public, this means that if you are on private property without permission, especially when a business is closed or after you have been asked to leave, you may be cited or charged for trespassing.
We understand people want places to gather, but parking lots and private business properties are not always the right place, especially when it impacts business owners, customers, employees, nearby residents, or public safety.
Respecting private property helps support safe neighborhoods, local businesses, and public spaces that are welcoming for everyone.
Please follow posted signs, be respectful of property owners and staff, and leave when asked by the property owner, business staff, or officers.
Thank you for helping us keep Ogden safe, respectful, and welcoming for everyone.
