If you're going out of town, take advantage of FREE vacation checks by the Sheriff's Department.
Watch this video from NBC 7 San Diego to learn more about what our Sheriff's Senior Volunteer Patrol does to make sure your home is safe and secure while you're away.
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.
Before you leave for your summer getaway, simply fill out this form, http://goo.gl/ONJaK, and bring it your nearest Sheriff's Station or Substation: sdsheriff.net/patrol. Vacation checks are a free service provided by members of the Sheriff's Senior Volunteer Patrol year-round. To become a volunteer, visit sdsheriff.net/volunteers.
