Vacation Watch
Planning your summer vacation? Sit back, relax, and let the Corinth Police Department take care of things at home while you are away.
The Corinth Police Department offers a Vacation Watch Program to provide citizens some peace of mind while they are away from their homes. Officers check the residence during their absence and document the times they stop by. Should anything be of concern, action will be taken and home owners will be contacted.
Personal and household crimes are the highest in the warm months when people spend more time away from home on vacations or are involved in outdoor activities. Avoid becoming part of this statistic by signing up for the Police Vacation Watch and following the suggestions below to protect your home, property, and family while you're relaxing and having fun!
Before You Leave
- 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 doors, windows, and gates are locked when you leave.
- Manually lock your garage door from the inside and disengage your electronic device, this eliminates the possibility of thieves entering with garage door decoders.
- Stop mail and newspaper deliveries or have a friend, relative, or trusted neighbor collect it each day.
- Install light timers on indoor lights - this gives the illusion someone is home.
- Arrange for someone to take care of your lawn.
