Vacation Watch (1000 × 300 px) (1)

When a resident of the Town of Queen Creek goes on vacation, the Police Department can offer extra patrol to check on your property.

The Vacation Watch Program should give you some peace of mind while you’re away. Here is how it works:

Complete and submit the Vacation Watch form below OR call (480) 358-3535, option 2, to complete a request.

NOTE: The Vacation Watch program is not intended for periods of time greater than four weeks or homes for sale. If you will be gone more than four weeks, you must re-submit your Vacation Watch at the end of each four-week period. Requests submitted for longer than four weeks will be patrolled for the first four weeks only.

Along with notifying us of your absence, here are a few other safety measures you will want to follow.

Suggested Safety Measures
  • Notify a friend, relative or trusted neighbor that you'll be away and leave emergency phone numbers with them in case they need to reach you.
  • Be sure all of your doors, windows, and gates are locked when you leave.
  • Engage your alarm and camera system.
  • Manually lock your garage door from the inside and disengage your electronic opener/device.
  • Be sure to stop your mail or other deliveries or have a friend, relative, or trusted neighbor bring it in for you on a daily basis.
  • Put indoor lights, television, radio, or other similar appliances on a timer or utilize an automated home system to give the illusion that someone is home.
  • Arrange for someone to take care of your lawn/landscaping while you're away.
  • Have a safe and wonderful trip.
