Daily Check - This Wintergreen Police Department wellness watch program provides a “daily reassurance” to those in the community who live alone and would appreciate a friendly hello each day. “When we make these daily calls we’re reassuring our citizens and they are reassuring us,” explains Dennis Russell, Wintergreen’s Chief of Police. “This telephone check-in program can help those living here be more independent. Those with no one else in their household know they are not alone in our community and this program is one reason why. It is designed to give them, and their family members, friends and neighbors, some peace of mind.” Learn more here
Ride-ALong with Wintergreen Police
The Wintergreen Police Department offers a Ride-ALong program allowing citizens to ride with a Police Officer during their tour of duty to get a first-hand look at what they do. Interested? Download, print, and complete the two forms below, then drop them off at the Police Department. Once approved you will be contacted by an officer about the details of your ride-along.
Ski Equipment – A program designed to register all your ski equipment (serial numbers, make, model, etc.) with the police department. Should your equipment become lost or stolen, information to aid in the recovery and for input into the national crime files would be available. In approximately 95 percent of the cases, persons are unable to furnish this information for more positive identification or reporting purposes. Call the department to make an appointment.
Operation ID – A program designed to record and mark any valuables you may have at your Wintergreen home. Pictures are also taken for your records should your home be destroyed by fire. Call the department to make an appointment.
All of these programs are offered to Wintergreen property owners as a service at no cost. Any necessary forms or applications may be obtained by calling or stopping by the Police Department. Phone 434-325-1106. The police department patrols the Wintergreen community twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, and is ready to serve you.
