House Watch For Holiday Getaways

Planning your next getaway?
One important step in that process should be to notify the Barrington Hills Police Department that you 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.
Please note that checks are performed as manpower, call volume, and time constraints permit. This program is meant to enhance existing security measures you should have in place, such as an alarm system, and it in no way should be your only line of defense while away.
