<div dir="ltr">There is a "Signal 18" form available on the Town's web site at <a href="http://www.riverdaleparkmd.info/police/services.cfm">http://www.riverdaleparkmd.info/police/services.cfm</a> (or, for the form itself, <a href="http://www.riverdaleparkmd.info/police/RequestPoliceWatchHouseVacation%202.pdf">http://www.riverdaleparkmd.info/police/RequestPoliceWatchHouseVacation%202.pdf</a>) that asks for all the right information (address, whether there are timers on lights, pet sitter?, etc.). It sounds like Bob covers everything in the note he drops off, but the police love it when they know exactly where to look on the form for the information they need.<div>

<div>If I may,<br>
just a suggestion and the approach I have used -<br>
I write up all the particulars (dates away, contact numbers, who
may stop by the house, etc) and drop a couple of copies that at
the station so they have it. Always fun to talk to the
dispatcher/officer on the phone, but I sometimes garble on the
phone, and this seems to make their jobs a little easier.<br>
hope this helps<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<div>Residents can contact the police department, notifying the
staff when and for how long they will be away on vacation. This
information will be given to the officers on duty. The
department number is <a href="tel:301-927-%204343" value="+13019274343" target="_blank">301-927- 4343</a>.<br>

<div>Saw on an online crime reports site
that there were severral breaking and entering, robbery,
and theft offenses in town over the past several days.
Now that we're getting into the summer season, more people
will be out and about, and more people will be going away
on vacation, etc. Please, everbody; be aware of what's
going on around your home. If you know a neighbor is
away, keep an eye on their property. If you see something
suspicious, report it to the police. Same thing if you
see people loitering or otherwise hanging around with no
apparent purpose - call the police and let them determine
what's going on. Any one of us could be a victim at any
time, let's watch out for each other. <var></var></div>
