The Martinsburg Police Department provides Security Checks (free of charge) for residents of the Borough or Huston Township who are on vacation or away from home for a while, to give you that extra “peace of mind”. Officers will check the exterior of the residence for suspicious activity, as time permits, and will contact you or a designated contact person in the event of a problem. To request a security check, please complete the following form or stop at the Police Department. If possible, please submit the form at least 10 days prior to your departure. If submitted electronically, a confirmation email will be sent to you verifying that it was received. Also, please contact our department when you return.
