Are You Leaving For the Holidays ?
While you are away, BEPD Officers can provide security checks at your residence. Officers will walk the exterior of the premises but will not enter the backyard if fenced in. Officers will check the windows and doors to ensure the residence is secure.
Our goal is to conduct a house check once per shift (day / night), but the frequency at which this will be done depends on the availability of our BEPD Officers. Priority and emergency calls must take precedence. It is important to remember that the greatest "crime fighter" in town is you. By taking a few preventative measures, you can add to your own security force.
Make sure all your doors, windows, and entryways have locks that are functional and are in the locked position.
Unplug or turn down the volume on your telephone.
Have someone you trust pick up your daily newspapers and mail or call and have those services stopped until your return.
Let your trusted neighbors know the dates you will be gone and ask them to report any suspicious activities occurring at your residence to the police.
Leave lights on in several rooms so the house appears occupied.
If you have an operational home security system, utilize it.
If there is any damage to the home or remodeling being done, please note this on the form.
To begin the vacation house check program, please complete the fillable PDF form (ATTACHED)
