Going On Vacation? Decatur Police Will Check Your Home
You can sign up for the service online or by telephone.
If you're taking a vacation soon, the Decatur Police Department will check on your property while you're out of town.
This sounds like a good idea with the recent rash of burglaries. Some of the residents were out of town when their homes were broken into.
Here's the information provided on the City of Decatur website:
Vacation season is here and that means many Decatur residents are going out of town. Did you know that the Decatur Police Department will check on your house while you are away? All you have to do to sign up for this service is complete the “Out of Town House Check” form in the city’s online service request system or call the police department, 404-373-6551.
The online form can be found by clicking the “Submit a Service Request” button on the Decatur homepage. To aid the department in its scheduling processes, please do not enter your information any earlier than seven days prior to your departure. And if, by chance, you change your mind and do not leave town, be sure to let them know that as well!
