Protecting our community

Let the Windsor Heights Police Department help you, help us.. With the possibility of criminal activity in or around our neighborhood, we would like to bring our community together to prevent crime to our property.

Thieves typically look for targets of opportunity when determining where their victim. There are many things you can do as a homeowner to avoid becoming a victim, especially when you are going to be away from your home for an extended period of time for any reason.

• Arrange for the Windsor Heights Police Department to watch your house.
• Have your mail and deliveries held or picked up by a neighbor or someone you trust.
• If possible, leave a car in your driveway. Ask a trusted neighbor to park in your driveway while you are away.
• Be sure to check all windows and doors throughout your house to include the garage, basement, and second floor making sure they are secure. These areas are often forgotten and make easy access into your home.
• Arrange with neighbors you can trust to check your house regularly and leave them a number where you can be reached.
• Don't tell everyone about your vacation plans to include posting it on social media.
• If possible, have lights on the inside and outside of your house turned off and on with a timer.
• Before leaving make an inventory of your property listing all serial numbers and model numbers available.

In the worst case scenario should you return home to find your house has been broken into, do not enter it. Call the police from a neighbor's phone or your cell phone.

Home security checks are a free service being offered to the residents of Windsor Heights. Please contact Officer Woods at 515.645.6829 or [email protected] to make your personalized appointment today. Please allow at least an hour for the appointment.
