Going
on vacation?
Who's watching your house?
[JUNE
12, 2003]
The Lincoln Police
Department is striving to meet the needs of citizens within the
community. Recently the department conducted a survey on "Fear of
Crime and Victimization." Results of the survey showed that there
are areas the police department needs to improve on and there are
areas of service that the community is satisfied with and would like
to have continued.
|
The survey of registered voters
selected at random indicated that police should continue and expand
on vacation checks of homes. Security checks are appreciated while
vacationers are away from home enjoying time with the family.
To aid the community in
accomplishing this, the Lincoln police have developed a website:
lincolnpolice.us. On the
site you can fill out the
vacation checklist form and it will be sent to the proper
officer who will check on your residence. He will then e-mail you
and tell you the status of the residence being checked.
|
If you would like to find out
any other information about the Lincoln Police Department, please
visit
lincolnpolice.us.
Chief Rich Montcalm says, "We can only become a more professional
police department with your assistance."
