Vacation Watch

Vacation Watch Program

The Paradise Valley Police Department provides security checks for homes that are temporarily unoccupied during vacation periods, as staff availability allows. The frequency of visits depends on the number of submitted vacation watch requests and the availability of personnel. While we strive to conduct one security check per week, this is not guaranteed. During peak periods, such as summer months, service may be less frequent.

Program Requirements

To ensure the safety of both residents and officers, the following requirements must be met:

The home must be unoccupied during the specified dates of the request.
A new Vacation Watch form must be completed for each request.
All requested information must be provided.
Retain the Submission ID number provided in your email confirmation after submitting the form.
If you return home earlier than the date indicated on your Vacation Watch form, you must notify the Paradise Valley Police Department immediately.
Officers will inspect only readily accessible areas of the property.
If submitting a form in person: Drop-offs are only accepted during normal Records business hours (Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM–6:00 PM).
The maximum duration for a Vacation Watch is 6 weeks. If your absence exceeds this limit, we recommend making alternative arrangements to monitor your home.
Vacation Watches are not available for homes that are:
- For sale
- Vacant
- Under construction
- Part-time residences

Important Notes

Prevention is the best deterrent to crime. Ensure that side gates are locked, all doors and windows are secured, and alarms are set before leaving.
The Paradise Valley Police Department will inspect only perimeter doors and windows during Vacation Watch.
If you require additional services, such as pool or spa inspections or water leak monitoring, we encourage you to hire a professional company and provide them with access.
Indicate any authorized individuals who may be on your property to assist officers during their checks.
