Narrative:

This problem arose due to myself, the PIC, not contacting flight service for NOTAMS. I used 'weathermation' to check the WX and did not receive the NOTAM about the temporary restr over decker due to police work. Myself and a student pilot flew and circled over decker trying to see the location of the activity. I then landed at Y83 to see if anyone knew the exact location of the activity. 1 pilot I talked to mentioned the restr airspace at decker so I immediately contacted flight service and found this to be true. I had just been circling in restr airspace. I never saw any police activity or any other aircraft in the area.
