I am going to be out of town. Will the police department watch my house while I’m gone?
Property owners may contact the Southern Pines Police Department to request an Unattended Property Check for their property. Officers will, during regular patrol as time permits, check the unattended property for any signs of crimes, damage to the property or other issues that should be reported to the property owner. Be sure to leave a phone number where you or your representative can be reached while you are away. Call the Communications Center at (910) 692-7031 to request an Unattended Property Check. You may also provide the information electronically, by emailing the Unattended Property Check form to pd@southernpines.net. This service is designed primarily for property that is normally inhabited, but will be unattended for a specific period of time. Vacant properties will be maintained on this list for a maximum of thirty (30) days.
