Vacation House Watch Request

Planning that upcoming vacation? One item on your preparation list should be a request for the Vacation House Watch Program with the Tahlequah Police Department. This program works to ensure the security of your home while you are away. 

Citizens living within the Tahlequah city limits can be placed on the "Vacation Watch" list by completing the Vacation House Watch form. 

Your home will then be checked one time each shift, three checks in a 24-hour period, for a maximum of two weeks. If any sign of forced entry or unexpected change occurs, the police officer will refer to the information provided and notify the emergency contact listed. 

After you return, the Police Department will send you a detailed listing of all activity during your residence watch.
