Survey Program

The Hagerstown City Police Department offers a free home or business security survey. An officer will conduct a walk-through inspection of your house, apartment, or business property. Close attention will be given not only to physical security devices such as door and window locks, but also to other less obvious areas, such as outbuildings, lighting and shrubbery. The officer will also review basic security habits with you. You will also receive suggestions on ways to improve security and lessen your chances of becoming a crime victim.

Business owners may also receive a risk management analysis. In addition to a review of physical security, the survey will focus on the areas of robbery protection, cash control, displays, internal theft, key control and operating procedures in an effort to reduce fraud, robbery and shoplifting.
