Going on a well-deserved vacation, planning to be out of town, or away from home?

If so, The Flint Township Police are pleased to offer you the Vacation House Watch service while you are out of town.  This is designed to provide peace of mind to our residents while they are away from home for extended periods of time.

This process allows The Flint Township Police Department to periodically:

• Drive by your residence while it is vacant
• Look for signs of unlawful entry, foul play, or anything else that maybe wrong and to be able to contact you in case of an emergency. 
• We will not do Vacation House Watch checks on homes that have house sitters.  In such cases, you may request an Extra Patrol.

DISCLAIMER: Requesting a vacation house check does not guarantee that a burglary or other crime will not occur at your residence.  This program is only intended to be a request for the Flint Township Police Department to check your home periodically, based on the availability of an officer.  There are no guarantees that your home will be checked while you are away.  No additional police response or protection is being guaranteed by requesting a vacation check, other than normal police services and protection which is provided to the general public.

Consequently, it is recommended that you make every effort to safeguard against losses including securing of high value property, using proper locking devices, alarm systems, etc.
