Vacation House Check

The Aumsville Police Department is pleased to offer you Vacation House Check service while you are out of town. This is designed to give you a little more peace of mind while you travel and make your home safer.

Download the form below, complete and return by email, regular mail, fax (503)749-3100, or drop it by the police department. A vacation house check involves officers going to your residence, walking around the perimeter, looking for signs of unlawful entry, foul play, unlocked doors or windows, or anything else that may be wrong. It is more than an extra patrol in which officers are made aware you have left town, and they drive by your home during their routine patrols.

In order to provide this service in as efficient and safe manner possible the following guidelines are in place.

1) Aumsville Police Department will check your home while you are away, for a maximum of 30 days. If you will be gone longer than 30 days, please contact the police department.

2) We will not do walk-around checks on homes that have house sitters staying at them - we will give the house extra patrol, but it is unsafe for our officers and your guests for us to be walking around your home in the middle of the night. We will also not do walk-around checks on homes that have fences that prevent access to the back of the property.

3) We will only check residential properties, not business properties.

4) We will only check residential properties if you live there, we will not check vacant houses, other than to provide them extra patrol.

While you are on vacation don’t forget to:

1) Stop your mail

2) Stop your newspapers

3) Leave a light and radio or television on a timer.

4) Lock your doors and windows.

5) HAVE A FUN AND SAFE TRIP!
