Vacation Watch Request

Ask officers to check on your home while you are away. The service is free to Williamsville residents.

While you are away, officers on patrol will periodically check the outside of your property, looking for signs of forced entry, open doors or windows, and anything out of the ordinary. If something is wrong, we will contact the emergency contact you name below.

A vacation watch does not replace locking up, stopping deliveries, or asking a neighbour to keep an eye on things — it adds to them.
