RPD Keep Check Program Perfect for Spring Break Vacations
|
|
|
|
Do you have a vacation planned and would like the Rutherfordton Police Department to do a free residential check? The Rutherfordton Police Department offers a free house check program for residents of Rutherfordton who plan on being out of town. Officers will conduct random checks of your residence while you are away. Random house checks will only be made as call volume allows, and we accept no greater responsibility for the security or safety of your property during the times indicated on the application submitted, and cannot be liable in the event of damage to the property from criminal activity. To take advantage of the service, please come by Town Hall and request a residential check application to fill out and have submitted to the Police Department. Once applications are submitted, officers will be notified regarding your request. We hope this service gives you a little bit of comfort while your away!
