Adult Reassurance Program
This service is available to Town residents at no cost. The program provides a friendly and familiar interaction between our officers and our homebound community members. Participants will be assigned a Youngsville Police Officer, who will contact them either by phone or in-person twice a month to create a recognized and reliable fellowship. If no contact is made, an emergency contact person will be notified so the well-being of the individual can be verified. To qualify for this program, you must be a Town of Youngsville resident who lives alone, 65+ years old, or an adult with a disability.
If you or a loved one would like to apply for this program please fully complete the Adult Reassurance Program Form online.

House Check Program
The Youngsville Police Department provides a free property security check for citizens who will be away from their residence for an extended period, not to exceed 14 days. This program is a public service to help safeguard citizens' property and allow the department to notify homeowners in the event of a problem regarding their residence.
As part of the program, police officers will conduct a periodic security check and inspect doors and windows to ensure all entries appear secured and untouched. If an officer discovers that the residence has been broken into or a crime has occurred, the designated “emergency contact” will be notified so the residence can be secured, and appropriate police action taken. This service does not include feeding animals, watering plants, picking up mail and/or newspapers or similar types of activity.
In order for a citizen to qualify for this program, the following must be met:
• Residence must be within the incorporated limits of the Town of Youngsville
• A fully completed House Check Request Form must be submitted. The House Check Request form may be submitted online or in person to the Youngsville Police Department.
