The community policing division of the Maitland Police Department is involved in providing many services to the citizens of Maitland. Services, which include safety presentations and home security surveys to better, serve our community. One of our goals is to inform and enhance communications to our community through a positive perspective. This communication will better serve the community and develop a relationship with the citizens.
All Community Policing Programs are free of charge.
Business/Home Security Surveys
Free of charge security surveys designed to assist the business/home owner in recognizing security risks, and offer recommendations to help minimize opportunities to criminals. For further information call Community Policing at 407-539-6261.
Senior Calling Program
The Maitland Senior Calling Program is designed to check on Senior Citizens who live in our community. If a Maitland resident would like to participate they can notify Lt. Jonni Schardine or Sgt. Louis Grindle at 407-539-6261. At this point an appointment will be scheduled and an officer will come personally visit you at your home and fill out a medical questionnaire. Part of the questionnaire is to list emergency contact information along with medical information. At the time of the visit the resident chooses a time they would like to be called on a daily basis, this information is inputted into a computer. Finally, on a daily basis at the chosen time, the resident will be called by an automated system to see if they are okay for the day. If there is no answer at the residence, an alarm sounds at the Communications Center and the dispatcher on duty sends a Road Patrol Officer to the residence to check on the citizen. If you are going on vacation or intend to leave at the proposed call time just call Lt. Jonni Schardine at 407-539-6261and let her know you will be out during the call time.
This program allows our residents to have the peace of mind and assurance that they will be checked on daily.
To sign up for the Senior Calling Program please call or email Lt. Jonni Schardine.

House Checks
The house check program is for all residents that would like the Police Department to be aware of their absences from the city. The following procedure is how the resident will advise us of their absence.
- Come to the Police Department and either complete the card at the Police Department or bring it back when completed.
- Police Department personnel will check to make sure all necessary information is completed. Once the information has been verified the completed house check card will be given a case number and this information will be forwarded to the Communication Center.
- The Officers' will receive the house check cards and will check on the residence either by driving by or with the residents' permission will walk around the residence to check and make sure all exterior window and doors are secured unless otherwise noted on the house check card.
- If any alarms or suspicious activity are noted the officer will take the appropriate action. Then the Communication Center will contact the resident and/or their local contact for information or assistance. All information regarding the incident will be listed on the card.
- When the resident returns they need to call the Communications Center so that their residence can be removed from House Check.
