Information regarding the City's Harassment Prevention Ordinance

Contrary to Published News Media reports and headlines of July 1st & 2nd, the City of Brighton did Not adopt an "Annoyance" law. Instead, the City of Brighton City Council did adopt earlier this year: a Harassment Prevention ordinance which is similar to related ordinances adopted by 17 other Southeastern Michigan communities.

It is an ordinance which will enable our City's Police Department to assist City of Brighton citizens who are the victims of harassment type of behavior. To read and learn more about the City of Brighton's Harassment Prevention and Enforcement Ordinance and how it can help all City of Brighton citizens who may be victimized by Harassment type of actions or behavior: click the links below and read more.
