Yes,
the winter months are upon us and our seasonal
residents are searching for warmer temperatures.
Having several holidays this time of year we're
spending more time with friends and family
or just getting away for a few days on business.
Patrol Deputies are vigilantly patrolling your
neighborhoods looking out for your properties.
You can help Lake Patrol serve you better
by conducting a few simple tasks to prepare
for your departure.
An
item that Deputies continue to observe at house
check homes, especially those homes that owners
leave for months at a time and that is not
suspending your newspaper service. One of the
biggest give-a-ways that no one is at the home
is having newspapers stacking up on the doorstep
or at the end of the driveway. This is one
tell talel sign that is just as bad letting
our mailboxes overflow. What a Deputy can observe,
the criminal mind observes and takes opportunities
as they present themselves. Getting in a hurry
to leave, we sometimes forget little things
when preparing for a trip.
Go
to the Lake Office at the Lodge or use the
form below to fill out a House Check Form.
The office staff will assist you in completing
this form with the important information needed
for Lake Deputies. Of course this information
is kept confidential. There are several questions
on the House Check Form that affects how Lake
Patrol conducts your House Check. The section
asking if you have a key holder is very important
in case the house needs to be entered. Having
a friend or family member as a key holder on
your form ensures proper care can be given.
The section asking if you want a DRIVE BY or
a FOOT PATROL of your property. Any additional
information such as lighting that is on timers
or persons allowed access to the property example:
landscapers or cleaning service personnel or
returning students away at college. Special
considerations concerning alarms or family
notifications to be made or if you require
to be notified directly. Lake Patrol is here
to serve you and your families and while you
are away we want you to feel comfortable. So
please take the time to stop by the Lake Office
or fill out the form below. Thank you.
