This is a free service provided by our Police Department by a Jeffersontown police officer to check your home three times a day at various times. We will provide you with a detailed report after you return home.

The process is simple:

  3. When you arrive home from your vacation, call us at (502) 267-0503 with your cancellation code and we'll cancel the house watch. We will send you a detailed report of our activity at your house.
