House Watch

We offer a Vacation Watch program for city residents.

If you're are a seasonal resident who is gone 5-6 months of the year, or if you're only going out of town for a few days, we can keep an eye on your house for you while you're gone.

Just click on the link below and submit the completed form. While you're gone, our volunteer Citizens on Patrol (COPs) unit will check your house at least once a week. We strive to check on your residence at least once a day, when staffing allows.

We check for the following items, and we will notify you (or a local designee) if we see something out of the ordinary or there is an incident at the property.

  • Doors are closed
  • Windows are closed (and not broken)
  • Gates are closed
  • Garage doors are closed
  • No unknown vehicles in the driveway
  • No newspapers piling up outside or door hangers left visible

Please click on the form, fill it out and send it in to us. If you have any questions, you can call (520) 316-6800.
