LAKE COUNTY — The Lake County Sheriff”s Office continues to provide vacation checks for county residents.
Vacation checks are typically conducted in irregular intervals either by deputy sheriffs while on patrol or by trained volunteers.
The checks usually consist of residence checks to see that the general perimeter is secure as well as listed vehicles, property, lighting, etc.
While approved vacation checks are limited to reasonable blocks of time (the service does not run indefinitely), the department does require interested individuals to complete a basic information sheet about their property.
The majority of the information requested involves the dates the home will need to be checked, how to easily find and identify the residence, vehicles, alarms and pets, as well as contact information for family, neighbors and/or friends with responsibility for the property should something happen.
For more information call the sheriff”s office, 262-4200.
