This is one detail that many Police Officers forget to complete when purchasing a new home.  In this line of work you don't want your address or phone number listed in the public directory or on public records.  Given their profession, many Police Officers are too busy to seek out the forms or don't have someone in their corner to point them in the right direction.  I have been thanked many times for reminding my clients to fill out and turn in the necessary forms after closing on the purchase of their home. 

This is what the top of the form looks like and can be obtained from your local precinct.

(FOR USE BY PUBLIC EMPLOYEES OR OFFICIALS LISTED IN ITEM 3 ONLY)

 

One thing to recognize is that this not restricted only to Police Officers but support staff as well.  Below is a list which is from the application for whom this is applicable.

This is interesting information.  I assume this is a state statute for Arizona, but now you got me wondering if there is something like this in South Carolina.  If so, who is responsible for presenting it to the officer, the real estate agent or the attorney at closing? This is the first I've heard of something like this.

Jon,

They get the documents when they join the police force.  No one is there to remind them at closing nor is anyone accountable for this.  Its all up to the Police Officer.  I remind them just because I know the importance and they typically forget about it once they buy their first home.  I'm sure there are the same regs out in your neck of the woods.  Thanks for the response.
