SAFE KEY PROGRAM

Many residents, particularly senior citizens, are living alone and would benefit from having a house key or car key stored at a safe location in case of an accidental lockout.

The Safe Key program is intended to be used when a resident of New Ipswich locks him or herself out of their home or car. If they had signed up for the Safe Key program, they could call the New Ipswich Police at 878-2771 for assistance. The officer would obtain the name and address of the person and retrieve the appropriate key from the Safe Key box and bring it to the caller. Once confirmation was made of their identity (such as providing a photo ID), the officer would give the key to the person for their entry into the residence. The officer would then return the key to the Safe Key box and fill out the log sheet.

In the event of an emergency, the responding officer would not obtain the key, but would instead go directly to the address to use the most appropriate method to enter the home if the person was unable to grant access to the officer.

Under no circumstances will any keys be released to, or used for, any person not listed on the Safe Key form.

The key for the Safe Key box will only be kept at the New Ipswich Police Station.

Please contact us by e-mail if you have any questions.

Forms are available at the New Ipswich Police Station.
