Upon your request, the Atherton Police Department will provide a personal check of your property and residence during business or vacation trips . As a service to residents who feel special attention is required for their security for a brief period, the Police Department will periodically do a "drive by" check of your property (Spot check). People find this service valuable when they are home alone, have lost the keys to their house, have received suspicious telephone calls, when there are neighborhood / employee problems, and when there have been publicized absences from home. You can telephone the Police Department with your vacation check request or click below for an on-line request. Please contact the Police Department by phone or in person if you want to request spot checks.
The Atherton Police Department accepts the following information online. We do not currently have a SSL (Secure Socket Layer) server, so all information sent by our online forms is unencrypted. If you feel uncomfortable sending any information that is requested, please type "CALL" in the box and a police dispatcher will contact you for the additional information. Please feel free to fill in all the information that you are comfortable submitting. The sole purpose of these forms is as a convenience to you.
