12/3/2024 - Holiday Package Safe Delivery Program

HOLIDAY PACKAGE SAFE DELIVERY PROGRAM

As part of the Canton Police Department's Community Policing Program, we have initiated a program to protect against thieves stealing packages from your doorstep. In the past few years, millions of Americans have had packages stolen from front porches or mailboxes before the packages reach the rightful owner.

As an added level of protection from such incidents happening in Canton, the Canton Police Department is offering residents the opportunity to use the Canton Police Department's address as an alternative for delivery of holiday packages from November 18, 2024, to December 24, 2024.

Canton residents interested in this service need to take the following steps:

1. Use YOUR name and the Canton Police Department address (45 River Road, Canton CT 06019) on the package.
2. Contact the Canton Police Department at 860-693-0221 or email at [email protected] to notify us that you are using this service.
3. You will be asked to provide a phone number and email so that we can contact you to let you know the package is at the Canton Police Department.
4. Upon arrival at the Canton Police Department to pick up the package, be prepared to present a photo identification to the front desk.
5. Hours of pick up will be 6:00 am to 11:00 pm — seven (7) days a week.

*Please note that large items such as furniture or appliances may not be shipped to the Police Station.

The Town of Canton and the Canton Police Department assumes no responsibility for any delays or damage to the packages or its contents.
Any questions or comments can be directed to Sarah Smith, Administrative Assistant at 860-693-7692 or [email protected]
