House Watch Program

What is It?

The Powell Police Department’s House Watch Program is a free service designed to provide peace of mind while you're away. Whether you're leaving for a weekend or an extended vacation, our officers will make periodic checks of your residence to ensure everything appears secure.

How It Works

  • Submit a Vacation House Check Form before you leave.

  • Officers will visually inspect your property during routine patrols.

  • If anything appears suspicious or concerning, we'll contact you or your designated emergency contact.

Before You Go

The form will ask for:

  • Your departure and return dates

  • Property details (address, color, visibility, alarm system)

  • Contact information for anyone watching the home

  • Animals, lights, drapes, and vehicle information

  • A phone number where you can be reached while away

You’ll also be asked to authorize officers to visually inspect your property and — if needed — enter the home to secure it.

Important Notes

  • You must notify us at (307) 754-2212 when you return so the checks can be discontinued.

  • This is a courtesy service, not a replacement for alarm systems or private security.

  • House checks are conducted as time and weather permit — no guarantee is made for continuous or daily inspections.

  • Participation requires signing a waiver releasing the City of Powell and its officers from liability for loss, theft, or damage.
