Vacation House Watch

Welcome to Loudonville Police Department’s Vacation House Watch Program. We offer residents of the Village a Vacation House Watch program to provide added security while you are away. Simply fill out the one page form advising of your trip dates and other basic information, and Officers will check your house while you are away to ensure it is safe and secure. Even if you have a residential alarm system, it is to your benefit to use this FREE service.

To start your house watch, simply fill out the form attached to this website and bring it in to the station. While you are away, it is important to take a few precautions. The following are some tips on keeping your home safe while you are away:

Stop mail and newspaper delivery, or have a trusted friend/neighbor/relative pick it up daily.
If you will be away for an extended period of time, find someone to mow your lawn.
Use timers for lights, televisions, and radios.
Disable and lock your garage doors from the inside.
Have a trusted friend/neighbor/relative stop by every few days to make sure the house looks as if someone is still there. Have them water plants/grass, mow, open and close curtains, etc to make the house looked “lived in”.
