Yes. A vacation or security check alerts your area beat officer that you will be away during a specified period of time. The officers will check the exterior of your property as time permits. There is no guarantee on the timing or frequency of these checks as they are dependent on the officer’s call volume and other assignments. Should an incident occur at your location, having this alert set up gives public safety responders a method to contact you or a representative of your choice while you’re away.
