House Watch Program for Clifford Township Residents

 If you are going on vacation or plan to be away from home for an extended period of time, the police department’s free House Watch Program can give you peace of mind.

 Enlisting the police department to keep an eye out for suspicious activity while you are away from home does not guarantee against loss, theft, damage or mischief but it can be a useful deterrent to anyone who may be considering accessing your home for criminal purposes.

 Whether or not you avail yourself of this free service, there are steps you can take prior to departing to safeguard your property… 

  • Stop mail and newspaper delivery

  • Leave shades/blinds in normal positions

  • Put automatic timers on lights; set the timers so they turn on and off randomly in different rooms

  • Leave a key with a trusted neighbor in case of emergency

  • Lock all windows and doors

  • Have someone park a car in your driveway occasionally

  • Arrange to have the lawn mowed/snow plowed

  • Shut and lock your garage door

  • Keep jewelry and other valuables in places other than the master bedroom 

  • Ask a neighbor to put out your garbage cans
