Duck Police Department Offers Property/House Check Program and Video Service

The Duck Police Department offers a property/house check program to the Town's property owners. As part of the program, the officers make periodic checks of residences that are not occupied during the off-season. The officers look for open windows and doors and other signs of unauthorized entry, as well as looking for other items such as water leaks. If an officer finds anything at a residence, the homeowner or rental company will be contacted so the residence can be secured. Additionally, if it appears that a crime has occurred, the incident will be investigated.

The Duck Police Department is also offering a video service to residential property owners. As a homeowner, your property can be vulnerable to natural disasters, theft, and fire. It’s important to take preparatory steps and have an inventory of your property complete with photographs or video. If you are interested, a Duck Police Officer will come to your home and videotape your personal property. As part of the service, you will receive a copy of the video on CD for your records and the police department will also keep a copy for its records in a secure database as a back-up.

To sign up for either of these programs or if you have additional questions, please contact the Police Department at (252) 261-1112 or via e-mail at policeinfo@townofduck.com.
