Property Security

HOMES

Residents are reminded to lock their homes and storage buildings when absent. If you are going to be absent for an extended period, it is beneficial to leave a light on, arrange for a trusted person to watch your property and temporarily stop delivery of mail and newspapers. If requested, the Abilene Police Department will keep an extra eye on your residence. A house watch request form can be obtained from the Police Department Office located at 419 N. Broadway, printing the form from the link or calling 785-263-1212.

CARS 

Residents and visitors are reminded to lock their vehicles when leaving them unattended. You should place all items of value in a secured location, such as in the trunk, before leaving the vehicle. Remember: do not leave your vehicle running while you "run into" a store or your home and NEVER leave children or pets in an unattended vehicle.
