No Soliciting in Eagle Point:
  
We continue to have problems with unwanted solicitations in our community. We cannot prevent these people from being on our public streets, but we can discourage them from coming to our door. If possible, obtain the name, address, phone number, and name of the business from the individual. Remind them that this is a covenant community and solicitors are NOT welcome.
  
If you feel at all uncomfortable with this person, ask them to leave your property and call the Shelby County Sheriff's office at 205-669-4181. They will check this person out and respond with a deputy if the situation warrants it. If you feel in immediate danger, call 911.
