CLOCK PROGRAM FOR HOLIDAY CRIME
Volunteer Citizens do a valuable service by checking the homes of residents who are out of town. Volunteers inspect enrolled homes several times a week to make sure all entrances are secure. When something unusual or suspicious is found, patrol officers are called in to investigate.
A program requirement is that all inquiries must be at least three days. (i.e. Friday, Saturday and Sunday) The following residences are not eligible for this program:
- Apartments
- “For sale” houses
- Commercial real estate
- Homes and vacant houses
Registration
To get out of town and sign up for the Vacation Crime Watch free program, download the application (PDF).
