Full Notification

As Malibu prepares to reopen without restrictions on Friday, May 23, 2025 at 8am, we encourage homeowners to visit our station and complete a Letter of Agency for their homes or businesses affected by the recent fires, especially if they are unoccupied.

A Letter of Agency, also known as a Trespass Arrest Authorization, is a formal document that grants law enforcement the authority to enforce trespassing laws on your property in your absence.  This means officers can take action against unauthorized individuals without contacting you first.

This authorization is particularly useful for vacant properties, vacant lots, businesses, or any properties experiencing public nuisance activities or general trespassing.  We recommend completing this process promptly to protect your property as Malibu transitions back to normal operations.

Remember to:

• Secure Your Property:  Ensure gates, doors, and windows are locked.
• Report Suspicious Activity:  Immediately contact local law enforcement if you observe unauthorized individuals on your property.
