It’s been a while since I’ve posted. There are a couple of reasons for that, but recently it was because I was on vacation. Which leads me to the topic of this post.

The Dublin Police Department has a great program called House Watch. Sign up online and the Dublin Police Department will watch your house while you are away.

And they really, really do it! We had a pet sitter watch our dogs and one day she accidently left the back door unlocked. That night, the Dublin Police called our local contact to tell them the back door was unlocked. This is proof that the Dublin Police does not merely do a drive by. They actually get out of the cruizer and inspect your property. They also do it more than once a day. We came home early because of Tropical Storm Fay. Before I had a chance to cancel the House Watch, an officer stopped by the house to inspect my property. I went out to talk to the officer and explained that we got home early. He told me that he would cancel the watch so that the second shift officer won’t stop by later in the day.

I wonder if any other Columbus suburbs have this service. If they don’t, I recommend you contact your local police department and request that they start one.

Dublin FTW!

Welcome to the270. If this is your first time here and think, "what a douchebag", well that's my intent. To spur conversation. To drive my agenda to make Columbus a better place. If you are the subject of my douchebaggery, please do not take offense. I mean no harm. Leave a comment. And we'll discuss.
