| As a service to the citizens of the Town, the Leesburg Police Department offers free vacation house checks. Officers will periodically check the exterior of your home while you are away.

Simple Vacation Crime Prevention Tips To Protect Your Home
-
Don't announce your vacation plans though the social medias (Facebook, Twitter, etc). Wait until you return to share your trip. Social pages on the web can be seen by anyone!
-
Use lighting timers on interior and exterior lights.
-
Have a trusted friend or neighbor collect mail and newspaper deliveries. This keeps the mail from piling up which is a clue that a home is unoccupied.
