Going away on a summer break? An empty house is a tempting target for burglars. Don't let your vacation be ruined by a crime. Sign up for free vacation checks with the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.
The Sheriff’s Department offers free vacation checks year‐round. Let us know when you’re leaving and a member of the Sheriff's Senior Volunteer Patrol (SVP) will perform security inspections outside your home Monday through Saturday. 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.
