The Negaunee Police Department offers many services
to residents at no charge. These services include:
Bicycle
Registration: Residents may stop into the police
department to get a form to complete at their leisure,
or may bring their bicycle(s) to the department for
the purpose of registration.
Live
Traps: Residents may sign out live traps if they
are experiencing trouble with skunks or other animals
in and around their home. Those people using the live
traps are responsible for any wild animals caught as
officers are not trained to handle them; however, officers
may be able to assist with the removal of domestic animals
(i.e. cats). Those people signing out the live traps
are also responsible for returning the device in good/clean
condition.
State
of Michigan Notary Public: A Notary Public for the
State of Michigan is available to notarize documents
between the hours of 8:00am and 4:00pm, Monday through
Friday. Please be sure to have a picture ID with
you for identity verification.
Vehicle
Lockouts (keys locked inside): If any resident should
accidentally lock their keys in their car, an officer
of this department can attempt to unlock the vehicle
once the resident completes the required consent form.
Officers are not always able to unlock vehicles due
to a variety of reasons, but in most cases the attempts
are successful.
**Note**
Officers will not attempt to unlock vehicles which
have side-impact airbags as they pose a severe safety
risk to the officer.
Home
& Property Checks: Homeowners in the City can
get a little peace of mind while on vacation or extended
leave from their residences by asking the Department
to make property checks during their absence. Call the
Department, stop by to make arrangements or download
the Home & Property Check request form and forward
it to our office.
Gun
Locks: If you own handguns and are in
need of locks to safely store your weapons, you can
get them free of charge from the police department as
long as supplies last.
If
you have questions, please contact the department at
475-4154 or email
your question to the Chief of Police.
