The Germantown Police Department provides a home security vacation check. Officers will make a daily check on the security of your home, while you and your family are on vacation for at least four days and up to one month.
To receive this service, fill out a vacation check request form online and submit it to the Police Department. Officers will begin checking the exterior doors and windows on the day you leave and will continue the procedure each day until you return. The officers normally check the home at least twice a day.
Due to the dangers involved, a vacation request for your home will not be accepted if anyone is staying there while you are on vacation. Vacation check requests for vacant houses or new houses under construction will also be rejected. Although we check on such houses periodically, manpower is not sufficient to allow extensive coverage on vacant houses.
If you wish, you may print out the form and drop it off at the dispatchers' office on the north side of the Municipal Center, 1930 Germantown Road South.
