Greetings,  


For many years, the Riverdale Park Police Department has had a program  
where they will keep an especially careful eye on your house while you are on  
vacation.  A Ward 2 resident contacted me this evening asking whether the  
program was still in existence (it is) and how to sign up.  When I have  used 
the program in the past, I've always gone to the Police Station and  filled 
out a request form, but it seemed that it would be nice to be able to  do 
it electronically.


I asked Police Chief Chambers about the program this evening, and she and  
Code Enforcement Manager Ferguson provided me with information and an  
electronic copy of the form.


I've placed this form on the web at

Ms. Ferguson was careful to point out that the form should be completely  
filled out -- the police need to know what cars to expect to see, whether  
someone will be coming in to watch your pets, etc., for the program to be  
effective.  She also said that if anything changes (coming home early?  asked 
the neighbor to move that last load of laundry from the washer to the  
dryer??) you should contact the police to let them know.  Our officers  are nice 
people who you would probably like to meet, but not when they might  think 
you are a burglar. 


Best regards and happy holidays,


Alan Thompson
Town Council Representative, Ward  2
