In our continuing efforts to make San Diego County as safe as possible, we offer FREE VACATION CHECKS. Before you leave for your Thanksgiving getaway, simply fill out this form http://goo.gl/ONJaK and bring it your nearest Sheriff's Station or Substation: sdsheriff.net/patrol.
Let us know when you're leaving and Senior Volunteer Patrol members will perform security inspections outside your home Monday through Friday. They will check if your doors, windows and garage are locked. They will also hide your newspapers and packages in your side fence or back patio. If they see anything suspicious, they will call for the assistance of a deputy who will determine if there's been a break in. Upon your return, you will get a welcome home letter listing the dates your home was checked and observations made during the visits.
This is a free service provided by members of the Sheriff's Senior Volunteer Patrol year-round. To become a volunteer, visit sdsheriff.net/volunteers.
