With the 4th of July holiday vacation season upon us the NLCRPD urges residents to have a safe and relaxing vacation. The NLCRPD team also encourages residents to take advantage of the free service provided by the NLCRPD for a home security check during the period you are away from your home. This is easily obtained by using the drop-down tab in the forms and drop to the Vacation Home Check tab or by calling the NLCRPD Administrative Offices at 717-733-0965 and requesting the service. A NLCRPD team associate will request specific information and provide that to NLCRPD patrols to conduct the checks while you are away.

Northern Lancaster County Regional Police Department offers vacation security checks to residents. Officers will do a periodic check of the exterior of your home while you are away.

Q. What is a House Check?

A: Your house will be checked by an Officer every other day. This, of course, depends on the manpower and availability of Officers.

Q. What does the Officer do when they check my house?

A: The Officer will walk around the residence to ensure the house is secured and there are no signs of forced entry. They will also be looking for any signs that unwanted persons, or vehicles have been there. They will watch for things that may seem out of the ordinary. The Officer will log the times of the check in their activity log.

Q. What happens if something is wrong?

A: The person(s) you list as an emergency contact will be notified; most likely you will also be notified immediately afterwards. Don't forget to give us your cell phone number in case of an emergency.
