Eugene, Ore. – If you are going on vacation and want to have your home inspected for safety while you are gone….. call EPD!
The Seniors on Patrol, trained volunteers from the Eugene Police Department, will perform a thorough inspection of your property while you are away on vacation. Vacation checks entail a visual exterior check of your home and
outbuildings. As well as ensure that vehicles, gates, lighting and the general security of the home is intact and in accordance with the request. Whenever a vacation check reveals something suspicious, volunteers are trained to back out of the immediate area and request a patrol officer be dispatched to investigate further.
Vacation checks will be performed, as staffing allows, with the goal of checking the home one to two times each week.
Program Guidelines:
- For City of Eugene residents only (the property must be in the incorporated area of Eugene).
