While You Are Away
Redlands Police Department
Electronic Home Surveillance Program
Your home can be a target of opportunity for burglars when you are away on vacation. The Redlands Police Department wants to help protect residents’ property from opportunistic thieves with a vacation program designed to catch criminals in the act.
Residents can contact the Redlands Police Department before leaving for any extended period of time and arrange to check out a small tracking device that can be hidden on items of value that are particularly attractive to burglars, such as home electronics, safes, or other items.
The motion sensitive device is activated once the resident leaves on vacation. Any movement of the device will set off a signal that sends a text to both the resident and the Police Department. Officers can then use tracking software with the device to quickly locate the stolen property and the thief.
Below are the application and the waiver. Please complete both forms prior to picking up the device. To set up appointment to obtain a tracking device or if you have any questions regarding the program please email ehsp@redlandspolice.org.
