Wildwood - A spouter stated, "I agree with the spouter about police property checks. This "free service" is primarily for the same places over and over, and it is not free to all the taxpayers who have to fund it, and it impacts the volume of work for our police." The purpose of property checks is to deter crime and quickly discover crime that has occurred. It is a common practice in any resort area where you have hundreds of seasonally vacant homes. A burglary discovered quickly is more likely to be solved. Finding other problems at the house is a collateral benefit. It is good police work.
