Keep Your Home Safe While Away

The Rochester Police have a Vacation Safety Check Program to give you additional peace of mind while you’re out of town.

To avoid the telltale signs you are not home, follow these tips:

• Put a hold on your mail and newspapers.
• Ask a neighbor to mow the lawn while you’re gone. You can offer to return the favor when you get back.
• Use automatic timing lights and a radio in different rooms to create the appearance of movement.
• Call the Rochester Police Department for a “Vacation Safety Check” at 248-651-9621.

Please give them at least three days’ notice. If you have any questions, please contact the Rochester Police Department at 248-651- 9621.
