Wayne Sheriff Responds to Allegations of Trespassing Involving Cable Contractors

Sheriff Wayne Fisher of Wayne County has raised concerns among residents regarding unauthorized access by fiber-optic cable contractors to private properties. According to state regulations, these contractors must obtain written permission from property owners prior to the installation of any underground utilities or cables. It is important to note that their authorization is limited to the installation of underground cables on government-owned land or within public rights-of-way. Residents who encounter any such unauthorized activities are strongly encouraged to reach out to the sheriff’s department to report the incidents.
