The Valparaiso Police Department offers an added sense of security when you go on vacation or go out of town. With the House Watch Program you can leave your residence knowing that law enforcement will be looking after it for you. While you are out of town, officers from our road patrol division will conduct an exterior perimeter check on your residence. Officers will check to assure your residence is secure and that it has not been burglarized. If anything out of the ordinary is found during these checks the emergency contact for the location of the residence will be contacted.
Submitting this request does not remove your responsibility as a homeowner from making every attempt to protect your property while you are away (securing doors/windows, lights on timers, stopping mail/newspaper service, etc.). We encourage you to make arrangements with family members, friends or neighbors to also check on your home.
Contact the Valparaiso Police dispatch at (850) 729-5400 to sign up.
