Unoccupied homes can be an easy target for criminals unless precautions are taken.

Residents planning to be out of town are encouraged to inform a trusted neighbor or family member of their absence.

Arrange for mail and newspaper delivery to be stopped or picked up by friends or family.

By completing and submitting the form below, the West Chester police officer assigned to your area will be made aware that the residence is unoccupied.  This notice does not replace other precautions taken, but does provide information to the West Chester Police Department in the event of an emergency.
