The City of Bellbrook Police Department has a Vacation House Check program. The department provides a free residential security check for City of Bellbrook residents who go on vacation or are away from their home for an extended period. The Vacation House Check program is part of the Bellbrook Police Department’s greater goal of keeping the City of Bellbrook a safe community in which to live and work.
When you register your home, you will be asked about the dates of vacancy, security systems, other people who have access to your property, vehicle(s) that will be left on the property, and an emergency contact person. Whenever possible, please provide the requested information with advance notice before departure. If you arrive home earlier than expected, please call the police department at 937-848-3252 to cancel your house check.
As a resident who has registered your property while you are away, you can expect a Vacation House Check to be done one time per shift depending on officer availability. An officer will inspect the residence for unlocked or damaged windows and doors, evidence of forced entry or suspicious activity, verification of vehicles left on the property, verification of people found on the property, and any obvious mechanical malfunctions. Please be sure to have your house number displayed on your mailbox or otherwise visible from the street. If at all possible, do not leave vehicles outside. If you must leave them outside, make sure they are locked.
The Bellbrook Police Department wishes you safe travels!
