House Check Requests

Before you head out on a vacation, or if you will be away from home for an extended period:

  • Call your newspaper delivery person and have your paper delivery suspended
  • Call the Post Office and ask for a temporary “hold” on your mail
  • Use programmable timers to allow your lights and a radio or television to simulate your everyday habits
  • Postpone anticipated deliveries of parcels
  • Leave a vehicle parked in your driveway, and call the Princeton Police

We offer a random, courtesy check of your residence while you’re away. There is no charge for this service.

There is a form if you prefer to write out the information instead of notifying our department verbally. Stop at the station to pick one up or call us at (978) 464-2928.
