Double Oak wants you, your home and your property to be safe while vacationing. Home burglaries are generally higher during peak travel months. Many home burglaries, however, could be prevented by taking a few simple precautions. Help ensure your return home is as enjoyable as your trip.
House Watch
If you request a house watch, officers will make a daily inspection of the outside of your property while you are away. This provides the police department with vital contact information in case of an emergency. Officers will verify that access points into your residence are secured and undamaged. Should an open entry point be found, officers will search the interior of the residence for intruders or criminal activity. Anyone at your residence that is seen by the officers will be identified, and if not authorized the officers will take appropriate action as necessary.
Close Patrol
If you request a close patrol, this provides the police department with contact information if someone will be staying at your property while you are out of town, and a visual inspection will be performed without disturbing the occupants. This can also be used if you have any concerns about your property due to recent criminal incident.
