Advise the deputy you’re going on vacation. The deputy will ask a series of questions ranging from your departure and return dates and times to emergency contacts in the event something happens while you’re away.

Additional tips to keep your home secure while you’re on vacation:

  1. Make arrangements for your mail and newspaper to be stopped or picked up.
  2. Have your yard cut and snow removed regularly. Your property should look like someone is present.
  3. Timers for lights and/or audible devices provide added security by making it look and sound as though someone is home.
  4. Advise a trusted person that you’ll be away and have them check on your home as well.
  5. Keep all windows and doors locked.
