Seffner Residents Can Secure Homes with Vacation Watch Program

Seffner residents planning to leave town can utilize a Vacation Watch Request service from local law enforcement to help monitor their homes or businesses. This program offers an extra layer of security by having officers check on properties while owners are away.

The Vacation Watch program requires applicants to provide specific details about their absence and property. Residents must submit their departure and return dates, along with primary and secondary contact information and an email address. They also need to specify if the property is a residence or business and identify their district (District I, II, III, IV, or V) by searching their address.

The request form asks for information about any existing security systems, including whether the system is monitored, the company name, and its phone number. Residents should also indicate if they have an automatic lighting system, specifying if it's interior, exterior, or both. Details about vehicles left on the premises, such as make, model, tag, and color, are also required.

For added security, the form includes a section for a local point of contact. This person's name, address, phone number, and email are requested, along with an indication of whether they have access to the property. Finally, applicants must certify their acceptance and agreement to a waiver of liability for the service.

Residents can submit a Vacation Watch Request at any time before their departure. This service provides peace of mind for those leaving Seffner for an extended period.
