A Residential Security Survey is an inspection of your home, performed by a specially trained police officer, in an effort to identify areas in which you could improve the physical security of your residence. Many security features may be discussed, ranging from simply trimming shrubbery, to changing locks and upgrading exterior lighting.

Recommendations may be made to improve the security of your home. There are no obligations to the resident to perform any of the recommendations.

The survey is offered free to Glen Ellyn residents,by appointment only. It generally takes less than an hour.

For further information or to schedule an appointment, please call:

Officer Tom Staples

Disclaimer
You may request the Village to visit your property and make recommendations on changes that may improve the security of the property. We will be using a form which is intended to point out to you some areas where improvements may be desirable. The recommendations made there and on the comment sheet are measures designed to make your residence more secure from unauthorized entry. While there is no guarantee that you will not be the victim of a crime regardless of the precautions taken, by adopting these recommendations you may reduce your risk. The recommendations suggested there and on the comments sheet have been made in good faith and there is no guarantee, implied or stated, that you will not become the victim of a crime or theft. This is a free service offered by the Village. You are free to use any of the ideas we suggest, but the Village and its police officers or other employees are not liable for the results of your independent decision to implement any of these ideas.
