Home Watch
Keeping Your Home Secure While You’re Away.
One of the many benefits of living in Barrington Hills is the relationship between our Police Department and its citizens. In addition to providing the kinds of services you would expect, the Barrington Hills Police department also provides residents with House Watch Services when you’re away, whether it’s a family vacation or business trip.
Citizens can notify the Barrington Hills Police Department that they will be away from home by requesting a house watch. Doing so alerts patrol officers to your home’s unoccupied status so that they may conduct periodic checks of the perimeter and verify that there is nothing unusual occurring on or about your premises.
Checks are performed as manpower, call volume, and time constraints permit. This program is meant to enhance existing security measures a resident should have in place, such as an alarm system.
Residents should submit their request a minimum of two business days before they leave.
